Description

In good weather, a detour to the panoramic viewpointat Katzenkopf (Trail No. 34 from the Seewald district) is highly recommended. At the top, you’ll be rewarded with breathtakingpanoramic views and local delicacies at the hut Katzenkopfhütte (1360 m).

From Weidachsee, continue towards Hotel Quellenhof, follow the road on the right towards Weidach, and after about 200 meters, turn right (opposite Haus Bergkristall) onto the road towards Katzenkopf. After the small bridge, the path goes slightly uphill, and at the fork, bear right (do not go into the dead end). At the next intersection, keep left, continue straight, and after the last houses, turn left into the forest. Follow the trail uphill through the woods, and shortly before reaching the hut Katzenkopfhütte, turn right twice in quick succession. You will then reach the destination of this extension.

For a bit of action at the end, you can rent a sled at the base station in advance and enjoy a fifteen-minuteride down into the valley. If you prefer to save your energy for the coming days, you can take the Katzenkopf lift for a comfortable ascent. Alternatively, this additional hike can be done on the last day of section 4.
