Mountain hikes Maria Brettfall - Schlitterberg - Kaunzalpe and back (Trail No. 5)

Description

Set off from the Municipal office and head past the festival hall before heading up the Kirchsteig towards the hamlet of Astholz. After the underpass, follow the well developed hiking trail along a winding path heading up through the forest until you reach the Maria Brettfall pilgrimage church. The trail 
continues uphill from there to Ellerboden (a short climb on the right leads to a lookout point that offers a magnificent view) – continue straight ahead at the crossroads, heading towards Larchkopf/Kaunzalm until the trail merges with the Öxltalweg trail. The asphalt road leads uphill towards Schlitterberg before merging with the forestry road. From there, head straight on along the forestry road until you reach the Kaunzalpe and the mountain station of the Spieljochbahn cable car. Ride the Spieljochbahn cable car down to Fügen and take the bus or train back to Strass. As an alternative, this route can of course be completed in the opposite direction.

Stop off possibilities: restaurants in the village, Jausenstation Maria Brettfall, Mountain Loft Spieljoch
