Trail Entry point:
At the Puitbach/Ahrn parking lot in the Puitbach district.
Trail Character:
The A8 Lehner Trail is a very short loop starting from the parking lot in Puitbach. From there, you need to cross the road to reach the trailhead. The route follows the edge of the forest towards Ahrn and Lehner, looping behind the houses back to the starting point. The A8 serves as an ideal connecting trail to the A9 Unterleutasch and is also perfectly suited for sled cross-country skiing.
Connecting Trails:
A9 Unterleutasch
If you run directly from the parking lot towards Ahrn, you can cross the road and then continue onto the A7 Gasse Trail.
An overview of the entire cross-country skiing network (incl. trail status) and helpful cross-country skiing information (ticket machines, waxing and service points, changing facilities, ...) can be found in the cross-country skiing report.
