Description

This circular hike takes you through dense forests and picturesque meadows, immersing you in the idyllic landscape of the Leutasch Valley. Along the way, you can discover the Tyrolean Farmhouse Museum and enjoy a rustic stopover before continuing to explore the breathtaking natural surroundings.

The scenic hike starts directly from the Rödllach parking lot near the Leutasch Zottlhof. Close to the parking area, you’ll find the marked trail leading through the Katzenloch. After a brief stretch across the fields, the path leads into the charming forest — an especially beautiful spot that opens up into the Mösern district of Buchen. Here, you take the turn toward the Tyrolean Farmhouse Museum.

Right by the museum, the traditional restaurant Ropferstub’m invites you to take a break with hearty dishes and a cozy, authentic atmosphere. After an optional rest, head left from the Ropferstub’m and follow the Schlagweg along the forest edge until the next junction near the Interalpen-Hotel Tyrol. Cross the road and continue following the trail signs towards Muggenmoos. Once you’ve passed the romantic paths through the dense forest, a wide clearing offers the perfect spot for a detour to the welcoming Muggenmoos Alm. Here, the Neuhauser family treats guests to seasonal specialties and Tyrolean classics. Finally, head back briefly to the trail and continue through the forest to return to your starting point.
