Route description
First of all, mountain lovers need to take the car from Schluderns up to the Gialhof farm. There, trail no. 21b starts to the "Platzass" on the right, where hikers can enjoy a marvellous panoramic view of the surrounding mountains. The route then continues to the "Äußere Alm". Here, hikers follow trail no. 24b to the right and reach a large clearing in the forest, which is not very steep.
The clearing joins path no. 21a on the left and climbs up to the Köpfelplatte. The route leads back uphill to the edge of the forest and then left to the Kalterer Brunnen fountain. Here hikers follow the descending path no. 21 and reach the Innere Alm through the forest. From here, return to the starting point via the same route.
