Trail Reviews
Tuesdays with the NF, from the Födingeralm car park in Weyregg on the forest road to the Födingeralm (closed on Tuesdays) then to the Gupfalm (private). Nice, relaxed round
The Gupf-Alm is no longer open, but there is a beautiful bench with a great view where you can have a snack. 😋
From Bach to the Födinger Alm to the Hubertushütte, very good food. On the way back we took the Gupf Alm, which is no longer managed. A large part of the hike was in the forest, so it was also possible in the heat. 👍
600m seems like too much to me I think around 500m 😁
