Roadbook

From the hiking parking lot, ascend into the Alpgartental until a bridge allows crossing over the Weißbach. First, follow the stream downstream, then ascend the path up to a notch. From there, it is only a short distance to the summit of Wappachkopf (benches) with a beautiful view of Hochstaufen and Bayerisch Gmain. Keep left on a path a few meters downhill, then sharply turn left onto a wider path. Follow this until a forest road, descend it until a fork sharply turns right onto Theo-Birkel-Straße and, after crossing the Weißbach bed, leads back to the starting point.
