Description

The hike starts at parking lot P13 Puitbach/Ahrn in Leutasch. From here, the trail first follows the Achweg to the Hubertushof in Reindlau. Those arriving by bus can start directly at the Reindlau bus stop.

From the Hubertushof, the path continues as a wide forest road up to the Bergleinbach. Here, a narrow trail branches off to the left, following the creek into the Bergleintal. The route gradually climbs, passing through dwarf pine fields and alpine meadows. With the steep rock faces of the Öfelekopf in view, the trail winds further uphill until reaching the Meilerhütte at 2,366 meters.

After a well-earned break with stunning mountain views, the return follows the same route back down to the valley. A challenging but rewarding hike through diverse terrain and impressive alpine landscapes.
