Author’s recommendation
- The hike can also be very well combined with the circular hike Laas-Röthen-Gailberg.
- The Mussen is a nature reserve with the largest alpine plant diversity in Europe - more than 500 plant species, 280 higher plants, orchid and lily meadows can be found here.

From Gailberghöhe, you hike southwards, parallel to the B110 over the meadows, before turning right at the first fork onto the uphill forest road. The path leads via some switchbacks, through the forest to the trail junction at Röthenkreuz. Once there, turn sharply right. At the next fork, keep right/straight in the thinning forest. The trail then continues straight ahead, northwestwards, over the large areas of the Mussen until you reach the destination of your hike.
