The attentive hiker is guided to understand the geological formation of the Pfronten and Vilser Mountains directly within the landscape itself. These mountains consist of various types of rock, which have acquired their distinctive appearance through weathering and erosion.
The GEOpfad Pfronten - Vils takes you through high-alpine terrain in the nature reserve "Aggenstein." For this reason, the decision was made not to install information boards. Instead, posts marked with the GEOpfad logo in the terrain indicate the respective stations. The GEOpfad starts at the summit station of the Breitenbergbahn and leads over the Aggenstein to the Bad Kissinger Hütte, Vilser Alm, and Vils, then back to the valley station of the Breitenbergbahn.
Author’s recommendation
In the building of the valley station of the Breitenbergbahn, there is also a permanent exhibition about the GEOpfad.
