An alpine pasture can't be far from the Almkopf - and it is. The sun terrace of the Heiterwanger Hochalm and the views from the Almkopf summit make this tour the ideal early summer activity.
Easy hike above Berwang along panoramic paths to the Heiterwanger Hochalm. Only the last few meters up to the Almkopf are on narrower paths. Great views of the Zugspitze from the Almkopf. The Heiterwanger Hochalm invites you to take a sunny break on the terrace from mid-May.
From the tourist office to Hotel Kaiserhof, straight on past the Huberbauer and the reservoir. Keep to the right
and follow the signs for Höhenweg-Hochalm (No. 27). From the Heiterwanger Hochalm follow the trail (No. 21) to the Almkopf summit. Descent via the Almkopf circular path to the Heiterwanger Hochalm, and via the gravel path (No. 16a), in the righthand bend via the meadow path to the Jägerhaus. Follow the asphalt path (No. 16) to the Bärenarena (swimming pool) and further (No. 11) back to Berwang.

● Stay on the marked hiking trails
