    Sporty conclusion after a long day in the office: the sunset hike on the Renkknie.

    After only about an hour’ walk you reach the Renkknie summit. At this forest-free point you can enjoy a beautiful panoramic view during the sunset, especially of the long Balderschwangertal in the north. Then you hike along the mountain ridge to the Hochriesalpe and on a supply road down to Sibratsgfäll. The old road takes you back to the starting point.

    If you like, you can enjoy a stop at the Hocheggalpe during the Alp season before heading to the Renkknie for sunset.

    Choosing the exact time: So that you don’t arrive too late at the summit, you should choose the exact time of sunrise or sunset.

    Observe the weather: Of course, the weather should be very nice and stable at sunrise or sunset. Safety first!

  • Directions

    From the starting point of the tour, the “Sausteig” (Gasthaus Waldrast) in front of the town center of Sibratsgfäll, you reach the Renkknie after about 1 hour on a path with a steady incline. At the forest-free point you can enjoy a beautiful panoramic view, especially of the long Balderschwangertal in the north. Then you hike along the ridge to the Hochriesalpe and on a supply road to the Hocheggalpe and the center of Sibratsgfäll. Via the Mähmoos you can get back to the Sausteig on a path that runs parallel to the main road.
