    Take the hiking bus to Lech to Rüfikopfplatz and take the Rüfikopfbahn to Rüfikopf (2.350m). For 5 minutes, the rough path descends slightly to the junction towards Stuttgart hut, first slightly ascending and then again through earthy and rocky terrain down to the Monzabonsee. Once again, follow a descent over an earthy path to the Stuttgarter hut/Friedrich-Mayer-Weg junction. On the left the path leads to Wöstersattel. Here are a few small passages that demand safety. Even before the Wöstersattel you have to keep to the right, where the path leads slightly downhill to the upper Wösteralpe. The grown trail goes further downhill to the Wösteralpe. From this small hut it is still recommended approx. 50 m to stay on the road and then to the left on swampy territory to the Bockbach. One crosses this and runs again through swampy terrain it continues through strongly grown terrain and milking stands through the Bockbachtal. A picturesque little village stretches out in front of you, where you can make a little rest. Here you have two options: Via the old Bockbachweg or on the asphalt road via Birchetsgump and Krabachbrücke to the bus stop directly at the sawmill.
