Adlerweg-Etappe 03: Kaindlhütte – Kufstein
****
From the Kaiser Mountains, the route leads down to Kufstein, including the fortress and the much-sung-about green Inn. The soul is in a rocking mood today, as the route leads through a gentle alpine paradise with a sea of flowers. The motto of the day: we don't torture our calves, just our stomachs - there are so many places to stop for refreshments ahead of us. By the way, Saturday is Kiachal day at the Brentenjochalm.
Medium-difficulty stage on red mountain paths. Sure-footedness and basic alpine skills required for the summit ascent. Good physical condition is required.
