Description

This is a long and difficult trail. From the valley station in Liss run along the tarmac road to Kaitanger. Once there, the trail follows along the Adlerweg [Eagle trail] to the catered mountain hut LeinerAlpe. From there, follow the steep trail to Sechszeiger, passing a pond on your left hand side until you reach the Niederjöchl. Then follow an uneven single trail uphill until you reach the fork in the direction of the catered mountain hut Erlanger Hütte. This is followed by a downhill section of approximately 300 metres in altitude passing the Hinterer Sea Lake on your right hand side. Then follow the markings uphill in the direction of Wildgrat. The trail on this uphill cross boulder section is marked by red dots. Follow the markings all the way to the ridge. Once there you have the option to run on to the Wildgrat summit cross, but please note that you have to be surefooted and unafraid of heights in order to do this! Otherwise follow the markings downhill in the direction of the intermediate station past the Großsee Lake on your left. At the next fork you have the option to run via the Hochzeiger summit and along the ridge downhill to Zollkreuz. At the Zollkreuz junction continue to run in the direction of Zollberg (2.225m). From then on it’s downhill all the way via a single trail to the forest road until you reach the valley lift station in Liss.
