    Beautifully laid out winter hiking trail along the Lutz from Garsella to Sonntag-Buchboden.

    This winter hiking trail starts in Sonntag-Garsella, right by the bridge. At the beginning, the winter hiking trail leads across meadows and through forests on the right-hand side of the Lutz into the valley. Shortly after the sports field – at the level of the ARA (wastewater treatment plant) – the winter hiking trail changes to the other side of the valley. From now on, the winter hiking trail runs into the valley on the left-hand side of the stream. Shortly before Buchboden, the winter hiking trail branches off to the left and leads a short distance uphill to the church in Sonntag-Buchboden. If you would like to hike further, you can make an additional loop and later cross the bridge over the road up to Buchboden. Buchboden at the bridge. You can return to Sonntag-Garsella with the call bus and bus.

    A stop at the inns in Sonntag and Sonntag-Buchboden is well worthwhile.
