Description

The hike starts at the Kaltenwirt parking area in the Radurschltal valley. From there, the path first leads to the right into the forest. Shortly afterwards the trail branches off to the right again, where you follow trail marker no. 26. The route passes the drinking water spring of the municipality of Pfunds and continues steadily uphill to the Lukaskreuz.

From Lukaskreuz, trail no. 27 continues towards St. Ulrichskopf. This trail, awarded the Alpine Trail Quality Seal, leads through a varied mountain landscape rich in alpine flowers and medicinal herbs. Along the way, the sound of bells from grazing cattle of the Saderer Alm accompanies the hike.

At the summit of St. Ulrichskopf, hikers are rewarded with an excellent panoramic view of the surrounding mountains. The descent follows the same route back to the Kaltenwirt parking area.
