Helpful facts

EASY HIKE - Our Father's Way

Short description:

Along the route, eight stations with depictions of the most important elements of prayer invite you to contemplate and meditate. Dr. Walter Besler from Zöblen

Description:

The parish of Grän in the Tannheimer Tal created a path of inner contemplation in 1996 to mark the 200th anniversary of the Sacred Heart of Jesus vow, with which the Tyroleans celebrated their victory over Napoleon. This combines meditation, art and nature in a special way. Since then, numerous walkers and hikers have walked the "Our Father's Path", which is just over one kilometer long, from St. Michael's Chapel in Lumberg towards Tannheim on path no. 1.

ANSPRUCHSVOLLE WANDERUNG - zur Zipfelsalpe

Description:

Through the beautiful Stuibental valley past the Wannenjoch into the Ostrachtal valley to the Zipfelsalpe. Enjoy the wonderful flora and fauna along the entire route. Behind you is probably the most beautiful high valley in Europe and in front of you are fantastic mountain peaks. Behind them lies the neighboring Allgäu. Views and impressions say more than a thousand words. Look forward to a beautiful natural backdrop.

Wegbeschreibung:

From the lift parking lot in Schattwald, head east, past the Kneipp facility, over a small bridge and uphill to the right. The gravel forest path leads nicely through the forest through the Stuiben valley. Turn right at the Untere Stuiben Alpe (no hut), continue into the basin and climb up to the saddle. A beautiful high plateau with the ruins of the Oberer Stuiben can be seen. From here it is a gentle descent to the Zipfelsalpe. The way back runs along the eastern flank of the Wannenjoch. The trail is moderately steep, first uphill, then downhill to the Wannenjochbahn mountain station. Here at the Jochstadel, as well as at the Zipfelsalpe, you can stop for refreshments. The descent runs along the hiking trail on the ski slope for a while, then on a forest path through the forest towards Stuibental, almost to the valley station of the Stuiben lift. To the left, downhill towards Schattwald, the trail leads back to the starting point. There is the option of taking the chairlift up or down and then taking an easy ascent and descent from the mountain station to Zipfelsalpe.
