Hiking trail: E81

Directions:

At the former Kopf inn on federal highway 115, a well-developed forest path runs along the slope of the Freinberg. After a few minutes on foot, the path branches left to the Fahne and further to the Kleinternbergalm. Then on the road to the Großternbergalm, where the hiking trail again leads into an alpine path and continues to the Koglerhof inn. It continues a few minutes on foot to just before the Brettmaisserhof. Here the path branches right toward Windhagberg. Along the ridge, you finally reach the road again near the Raschlhöhe through the forest. After a short stretch on the asphalt road, the path finally leads along a ridge trail back to the starting point.
The described return route "Ridge trail" requires high surefootedness and should only be undertaken by very fit mountain hikers!
Alternatively, on the return route, stay for about 500 m on the dirt road (paved), then turn left onto the forest road, where the path meets the "Ridge trail" again.
