Description

The hike begins at Parking Lot P14 "Katzenkopf" and initially follows the road to the right. After a few meters, the trail turns left into the forest. Here, the well-maintained forest path ascends gently through the woods. Step by step, you make your way through the forest until you reach the Katzenkopfhütte — a cozy hut inviting you to take a break.
