Elevation profile


Route description:
From Kesselfall Alpenhaus, cross the bridge and follow the road for about 50 metres before turning left onto trail no. 31.

After a short ascent, this beautiful forest trail leads to the old mountain road. From there, the route runs to the valley station of the Lärchwand inclined lift.

From now on, surefootedness and a head for heights are required as one section of the trail is slightly exposed in places. Alternatively: continue by bus.

Hikers follow the road here until a trail branches off to the left just before the first tunnel, which leads to the crown of the Limberg Dam.

After approx. 100 metres of road, a trail leads along the west side of the Limberg reservoir to the Fürthermoaralm.

From the Alm, the trail becomes an educational "herb trail", ending at Mooserboden.

Tips

Recommended equipment
