Description

From Tux-Lanersbach via Gemais-Vogelaue to the house Olpererblick (house no. 194). Then the goods road (path no. 51) branches off to the right to the Lämmerbichlalm. Follow this path uphill to the restaurant Lämmerbichl. Turn right and walk uphill, the last part steeper (no fear of heights required!), to the Rastkogel. 

Finally, the ascent to the summit follows a narrow path which requires sure-footedness and a head for heights, and may also require the use of your hands.

Most beautiful view mountain of the Tuxer Voralpen - view up to the Zugspitze! Descent on AV trail no. 318 to Geislalm - Geislerhof and back to Tux-Lanersbach via AV trail no. 315 and 321 and trail no. 21.
TIP: in July and August hiking shuttle "Wandertaxi" from Tux-Lanersbach Tux-Center, departure: 09:15, MON and WED direction Hobalm/Vallruckalm, FRI Lämmerbichl.
