Description

From the mountain station of Section I (middle station), the Penkenweg (trail no. 22) climbs in several hairpin bends. Some branches off trail no. 22a lead to the Penkenjoch (2,095 m). Pass the reservoir with the Granat Chapel, cross the Zirbenweg trail and descend via the same route to the middle station. From there, you can take a relaxed gondola ride back down into the valley to Finkenberg.
