Description

The hike starts at the Ried Tourist Office. At the southern edge of town, the path turns left and leads across the Langwiese meadow. At the end of the meadow, you reach a farm, then continue left to Hohlenegg, onwards to the Rodelhütte, and uphill to the hamlet of Gfrans. Above Gfrans, the route winds through a forest path. After some time, you reach a junction where you follow the Wassertalweg back toward Ried.
