Description

From the village (F010), head up the Sägegasse until just before the sawmill (F011), where you turn left. Shortly after, a field path (F012) begins on the right, which you follow across meadows, partly gently, partly more steeply uphill, until you reach the stream (F123, Waal). Here, the connecting path from the Sonnenbahn-Ladis (F015) joins the Waal Trail. The Waal Trail mostly runs beautifully between bushes and the stream. Just before the Lahnewald, the Waal Trail reaches a bend where it meets the road No. 9 (F119) to Kuhalm (F121) and No. 11 to Möseralm (F113). At the last meadows, a shortcut begins on the ski path (F120) to the right, through the forest, leading to Kuhalm (F121).
