The route at the beginning of the hike is not easy to determine. But it’s worth a detour via the Hohegg lookout point in Gais. The hike is full of splendid views as it is: the Alpstein panorama from the Hoher Hirschberg is simply magnificent. The varied trail leads past reed and moor areas, over roots in the Schachenwald forest and across lush meadows in Strahlhütten and Mendle.
