Description

Starting in Hinterthiersee, this loop leads along the shady and therefore very snow-sure side of Hinterthiersee, first to Breitenau, then across snow-covered Alpine meadows and on to Modal. Cross this enchanting clearing to reach the Wieshof snack station and, if you wish, continue down into the valley on a toboggan.
