Description

The route starts at Alpenbad Leutasch, following the Leutascher Ache upstream until the Achweg junction. Here, take a left turn, followed by a short right curve onto a gravel path.

After about 3 kilometers, the first ascent begins at Buchener Straße, continuing on a gravel path. Shortly before reaching the highest point, the route transitions into a forest trail, leading slightly downhill towards the Katzenkopfhütte.

From the Katzenkopfhütte, the trail turns left onto the Wurzelsteig—a narrow, technically demanding path with numerous roots—before reaching a forest road. Here, take a right turn, then follow the path downhill back to the starting point.

This loop combines runnable gravel paths with more challenging forest trails, offering an exciting technical section on the Wurzelsteig.

The indicated running time is a guideline and depends on personal fitness.
