Description

The tour begins at the car park Waldfrieden in Steinberg. First, follow the state road for about 500 metres towards Achenkirch until a forest road branches off to the right. Follow this road along the Weißenbach stream towards the Weißbachl Alm (not serviced). From there, a beautiful trail continues to the Schneidalm (also not serviced) and to the Rhaetian inscriptions - historical rock carvings from pre-Christian times. Then, walk towards Lubernalm and then to the Jägeralm (both not serviced). From the Jägeralm, the route leads down a forest road to the Gufferthütte. The return follows the same route back to the starting point or via the geological trail Obere Ampelsbach and Filzmoosbach Gorge.
