    Super Alm, perfekter Kuchen, Espresso und Service. Wir waren Mit dem Mountainbike dort und bekamen auch noch 5min vor Schluss Apfelschorle, Kuchen und Espresso. Die Kuhkälbchen kamen bis zum Tisch und passten zwischendurch auf unsere Bikes auf.

    Nice hike with great trail paths, the parts through the villages are a bit meh. Also be aware of lacking signs, keep the route at hand.

    Danke für das GPS, es war sehr hilfreich. Diese grandiose Tour ist aber ganz sicher keine "Wanderung" und sie dürfte auch nur für sehr erfahrene und konditionsstarke Bergsteiger innerhalb von 6 Std (Hin- und Rückweg) zu schaffen sein. Man muss mehrere hundert Höhenmeter in steilem und z.T. brüchigem Gelände kraxeln und Klettern. Es handelt sich hierbei also um eine ambitionierte Bergtour für fortgeschrittene Bergsportler. Schwindelfreiheit, sichere Wegfindung, sicheres Klettern und ordentliche Kondition sind absolut notwendige Voraussetzungen. Ich habe ein Video zu dieser Tour gemacht: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZSUnPO2OdQ
