Equipment

Good equipment is essential for your hike. The following items should definitely be in your rucksack: - Food and drink - Functional clothing for rain, wind and cold - A change of clothes - Sun protection - First aid kit - Mobile phone with a full battery (Euro emergency number 112) - Hiking map or GPS - Hiking poles Nevertheless, the following applies: light luggage is also easier to carry, so you should not weigh down your rucksack with unnecessary ballast. In addition, your hiking equipment should of course also be adapted to your particular hiking tour.

Description

For the circular hike from Elbigenalp to Grießau and back you should plan a morning. With the Bernhardsbach stream on your right, you hike from the Geierwally parking lot in Elbigenalp to the Lech and only at the Nikolausbrücke bridge you leave the stream behind you and follow the Lech, which you cross after about 800 m in the direction of Grießau. Only before the Grießau town sign, after which you keep to the right, the forest opens up again with a view of Obergrießau and you hike on to Untergrießau. Here you cross the Grießbach for a second time and then hike back to Elbigenalp.
