    Der Schafberg Trail ist eine vielseitige Laufrunde mit mittlerem Anspruch rund um den Schafberg. Vom Wasserfall Zug führt die Strecke sanft ansteigend Richtung Stierloch und weiter zur Ravensburger Hütte. Der Spullersee bildet den landschaftlichen Höhepunkt, bevor es entlang des Spullerbachs zurück zum Lech und auf dem Lechweg entspannt nach Zug geht. Eine abwechslungsreiche Runde mit viel Wasser, Panorama und gut laufbaren Trails.

    Roadbook

    The route starts in Zug and begins with a gentle climb past the Zug waterfall towards Stierloch. The ascent remains steady and easy to run until you reach the Ravensburger Hütte. This first section is ideal for finding a steady rhythm. From here, the trail continues to Spullersee, which is one of the scenic highlights of the route. The route then circles the lake and follows the Spullerbach downstream to where it joins the Lech. From here, the Lechweg takes you back to Zug on a flat and easy-to-run section.

    A varied loop with a steady climb, a central alpine section and a smooth return route along the water.
