L1 Kruckenbrettl - Trail

Description:
Short but crisp loop with a length of 4 kilometres and 357 metres of ascent.

Directions:
We start at the Rieglergut hiking car park (coordinates of the car park: 47m94586 N, 14.29808 E). Just behind the car park, a path leads uphill to the Schneeherrgott. Continue to the left. Turn left again at a forest road and then immediately right up the steep Hubertussteig trail to the Kruckenbrettl at 1020m above sea level. From here it is downhill to the Kruckenbrettwiese. At the kilometre mark, turn left (do not take the path through the gate!!). Here a path descends steeply through the forest. When we reach a forest road, a signpost points us to Riegler Seff. A beautiful singletrail leads us through the forest until we reach the Rieglergut again.

Equipment:
The required equipment always depends on the particular tour and the weather conditions. Regarding the food: This is very individual and it is recommended to have rather too much than too little with equipment and food. For a 5km round in the valley you need less than for a demanding tour in the mountains. The weather can change quickly and if you are not constantly on the move or need to take a break, for example, warming clothing is of great importance. 

 

We have a general checklist for you here:

weather-appropriate running gear for the season - weather forecast - region - elevation. This includes: * a waterproof rain jacket * a waterproof rain trousers suitable for running * Gloves and warm headgear (hood/headband/towel). * sunglasses + sunscreen + headgear for very warm days
