Description

Run from the intermediate station along the agricultural road to the catered mountain hut Tanzalm. Then continue on this road (Zirben Trail) for three kilometres all the way to the valley station of the Zirben mountain railway. At the following road junction, follow the agricultural road on the left all the way to the starting point of the Single Trail 4A. This trail overlooks the catered mountain hut Leiner Alpe (which is ideal for a break), until it almost reaches the north ridge of the Sechzeiger mountain. At the junction, turn left and run uphill along the ridge, all the way to the Sechzeiger summit cross. Then keep left and run past a pond to the Niederjöchl. An uneven single trail then leads up to Felderzeiger and continues on steep and rugged terrain on the last metres up to the Hochzeiger summit cross. To complete the circuit, continue to run downhill along the ridge to Zollkreuz (option to return to intermediate station). At the Zollkreuz junction continue in the direction of Zollberg (2.225m). From then on it is all downhill via a single trail to the forest road until you reach the valley lift station in Liss.
