Description

The alp lies at an elevation of 1575 m in an especially quiet location. The start of the route is at the parking lot between the hamlets Winklen and Unterried. A wide forest road leads up the mountain. After about 20 minutes you reach the idyllic Winkelbergsee, a beautiful place to linger. The forest road continues in countless switchbacks towards Wurzbergalm. Alternatively, the narrower footpath (this route is marked), which branches off to the left after about 25 minutes of walking, can be chosen. At the beginning, you still have a chance to catch a glimpse of Längenfeld. Later, the route passes through dense coniferous forest. After just under 4 kilometers you reach the Wurzbergalm. There you can refresh yourself with delicious homemade specialties.
