The tour to the 2,447 meter high Schafsiedel is one of the impressive mountain hikes in the Hohe Salve region. From Gasthof Wegscheid in Kurzen Grund, the path leads over the Neue Bamberger Hütte and past the three Wildalm lakes up to the summit. The long, but technically not very demanding route mainly requires stamina and rewards with wide views over the surrounding mountain world.

It is precisely the combination of continuous ascent, alpine landscape and the three mountain lakes makes the tour a strong endurance session in nature. On the way back, the Wildalm lakes offer a welcome opportunity for a short refreshment; those who still have reserves can extend the tour with a detour to the Aleitenspitze.

Highlight: three Wildalm lakes, 1,280 meters of ascent and a panoramic summit – ideal for all who endurance, nature and personal challenge want to combine.

The combination of steady ascent, alpine hut stop and additional summit destination makes the tour particularly versatile. Depending on your daily fitness, it can be flexibly designed and thus fits well with the Move & Relax concept: challenging enough for a training stimulus, yet with space for breaks and views.

Highlight: Alpine hut stop, summit cross and panoramic circular hike with 580 meters of altitude.
