  • Directions

    Starting from Stubenbach, a wide forest road leads in the direction of Wöster. Passing a small alp the path becomes steeper and narrower. In serpentines it goes steeply up to the Wöstersattel. At the Wöstersattel you have a wonderful view down to Lech and can take a long break before continuing towards the Obere Wösteralpe. After a total walking time of about 2.5 hours you reach the hut, which offers a wonderful view of the Bockbachtal. The Schäferköpfe and the Rappenspitze to the left you hike further down into the Bockbachtal to the Hinteren Bockbachalpe. Now follow the path out of the Bockbachtal in the direction of Steeg. The view is wonderful, you can admire the beautiful peaks all around. From here you walk for about 2 hours to the end of this hike, the stop at the large hiking car park. This is located in the immediate vicinity of the gravel works at Steeg (4 kilometres to Steeg on foot).
