Wallgauer Alm (1,548 meters)
This route is best started at the town hall in Wallgau, accessible via the eponymous bus stop. From there, head first towards the village square, then over Sonnleiten onto hiking trail no. 454, which later leads into a narrow forest path. The steadily ascending trail ends at the forest road, which you follow to the Wildbädermoos service hut. Here, keep right and continue for about 30 minutes until you reach Wallgauer Alm.
Those who want to continue hiking can reach Krüner Alm, located about 100 meters higher, via a 45-minute hike across the alpine meadows.
