Illinger Alm - Route

From the parking lot, follow the adjoining forest road uphill. At the first two junctions, always keep left (make sure to turn left at the second junction - follow the sign Illinger Alm - Route/Spitzeck 35 min). Gently ascending - once even slightly downhill - continue up the wide path for 30 minutes until a sign points to the summit of the Spitzeck, which is just to the left of the road. There you will find benches and a summit cross. The onward path leads back to the forest road, which you reach again about 100m above the point where you left it. Gently ascending, head southwest uphill until you reach another junction where you must leave the wide forest path. Hikers with strollers can stay on the road on the right and return to the starting point via the easy variant. Those who still want to climb the Illingerberg ascend gently over alpine meadows westward toward the wooded ridge. Here a steep path leads briefly uphill. First you reach the "Apfelkoch," a viewpoint with a bench, then after a short descent and ascent with another steeper section the Illinger Berg (no summit cross but signpost and bench). More or less along the ridge, we descend northwards to a wide saddle with alpine meadow (there are several signposts on the descent - perhaps almost too many). When crossing the pasture fence, descend to the right towards an information board (do not go straight ahead - do not follow the sign Illinger Alm route with the cable car symbol) and circle the Illingeralm on the right side. Upon reaching a forest road, follow it to the left back to the starting point.
