Herrnalm circuit, Fischbach

Open
A forest and meadow tour from the mountain health resort of Fischbach in the Joglland-Waldheimat region to the idyllic Herrnalm.
From the high-altitude climatic health resort of Fischbach past Freizeitland Fischbach with its mini-golf course to the Herrnalm. Every year at Whitsun, the famous “Herrnalm Festival” takes place with a hole-pulling competition. From the Herrnalm, the hike continues to the Schanzsattel with a refreshment stop at the Alpengasthof Schanz, then in the direction of the Teufelstein with signposts to the “Zeller Kreuz” from the Alptor. It is then not far back to the village via the “Gmoa”.

A section of the tour is also part of the long-distance hiking trail “From glacier to wine”.
