Circular route Wald – Hohenegg – Wald

Start
car park Volksschule Wald (885m)
Finish
car park Volksschule Wald (885m)
Starting point: Church in the hamlet of Wald. Follow the path to the left of the church. When you reach the first bend, a steep path forks off to the left to the hamlet of Oberwaldried. Continue past the sports grounds and keep left to cross the Walderbach brook to get to the hamlet of Hohenegg (Erdpyramiden, engl. ‘earth pillars‘) For the way back turn left at the chapel and follow a picturesque track to the Walderbach stream, visit the waterfall – the 10 minute detour is well worth it – and follow the country road for the last stretch to return to the starting point.

Great Harbe circular route

Start
Naturparkhaus Kaunergrat (1574m)
Finish
Naturparkhaus Kaunergrat (1574m)
Swiss-Trac Tour: Start: Naturparkhaus Kaunergrat. From there, initially follow a narrow gravel path that will change into a wide forest path. After ca. 30 metres you will reach a junction. Keep right and start your circular route. You can, of course, also take this route in the opposite direction. The forest path will now climb continually. The gravel is loose and rough in places and several water bars cross the path. After approx. 2.5 km you will reach a beautiful spot where you can enjoy views of the Harbe pond and the Harbe meadows which is ideal for a break. After ca. 3 km you will reach the highest point of this route. There is a turn-off to Aifner Alm, but remain on the path that is now taking you downhill and easy to navigate. The circular route will take approx. 2 hours and is 6 km long. Return to the starting point at Naturparkhaus via the same short path as at the beginning of the route.

Circular route Earth Pillars

Start
Car park Fußballplatz Wald (952m)
Finish
Car park Fußballplatz Wald (954m)
This hike to the earth pyramids starts at the car park Fußballplatz Wald (Wald football grounds) and leads via a beautiful path in the direction of the hamlet Hohenegg. On this path you will see “two towers with a stone hat” which only result from very special climate conditions from former moraine fields. Once you get to Walderbach stream you can follow it along a path (dead-end) to a waterfall. Return via the same path to the tarmacked road and, on a slight incline upwards, in the direction of Wald. Once at the top, a path turns off left through the forest and back to the starting point by the car park. 

Circular route small Stuiben waterfall

Start
Car park Schön (1069m)
Finish
Car park Schön (1069m)
After crossing the country road hike past the former pub Gasthaus Schön and follow the track on the right that turns into a very steep path up to Stuibenwasserfall (waterfall) after a few minutes. Once at the top enjoy the fresh air and the calming rushing of the waterfall. A further steep path that turns into a wider track takes you back in the direction of Jerzens. At the first fork, turn off to the left. This path takes you back to Schön and closes the circular route.

Experience hike Adlerhorst

Start
Tourist information office Arzl (851m)
Finish
Tourist information office Arzl (856m)

This hike leads you down the stairs to the Gruabe arena and behind the fire station, then uphill to the left on the forest track in the direction of Imsterberg. Follow this path for approximately 500 m and then turn left onto a forest track in the direction of Arzl Rodelbahn (toboggan run in the winter). After a few minutes the path forks, turn left in the direction of Adlerhorst viewing platform. Continue on forest paths and over a short difficult passage (rocks, secured with fixed ropes) to reach Burgstall at the top. Past the radio mast, continue to the exit of the rocky track and then to the Adlerhorst viewing platform. At what is truly a breathtaking height, you can enjoy the view of the surrounding mountains and the track which runs directly below. The way back leads over the Burgstall, with a beautiful view of Leins and W ald villages, 
head left to the church of Arzl, then through the village back to the starting point.

Alpine pasture hike Hochzeiger

The path which forks off to the left a few meters after the Leiner Alm will tak e you through the 
forest to Kaitanger and from there further to the bottom station of Hochzeiger Bergbahnen (mountain railway) (walking time: 1.5 hr).

Pitzenhöfe - Unterleins

Start
Wenns, car park Pitzenhöfe (860m)
Finish
Wenns, car park Pitzenhöfe (862m)
Swiss-Trac Tour: There is a car park directly opposite the football pitch in Pitzenhöfe. From there, follow the path past the chapel on the left into the forest. The tarmac road stops here and turns into a gravel forest path. The path is wide and easy to navigate with the Swiss-Trac. It is a steady and steep uphill climb in the direction of Leins with water bars crossing the path at regular intervals. You will reach the hamlet of Unterleins after ca. 2.5 km. Here, the path follows along the village road through the hamlet until reaching the main road. The path continues on the opposite side to Oberleins, however, as it is hard to navigate. It is therefore advised to turn back and return via the same route to the starting point.
