Description

From the village square the route, as outlined in tour K.4, takes you to Ruhestein Kapelle. Above the chapel, left at the crossing, the hike heads along Seßladbach to route no. 5 up to Untere Seßladalpe. The path then proceeds through Seßladtal, providing views to the Oberen Seßladalpe and Niederelbehütte, which at 2.300 m is part of the Verwall mountain range. A waterfall and Seßsee beneath Niederelbehütte also enhance the impressive mountain panorama.
Return section: follow the sign-posted Kieler Weg to Diasbahn. From there the gondola takes you back into the valley. Please note the cable car operating hours for your return journey!
