    Leisurely hike with panoramic views at the "Niggenkopf" and "Palüd" viewpoints.

    The trail starts at the Dorfbahn cable car valley station with a comfortable gondola ride. From the mountain station, the tour starts in the direction of Innere Parpfienzalpe. At the level of the alp, the hiking trail branches off in the direction of Niggenkopf. In the Niggenkopf area at the Niggenkopf terrace you will already find the first viewpoint. From here, you take a leisurely walk along the hiking trail in the direction of Palüd, where the second viewpoint is located. The hiking trail continues downhill across alpine meadows to the mountain station of the Palüd cable car. From here you can take the cable car down to the valley or alternatively descend along a beautiful hiking trail. The hiking trail first leads along the goods road and past the Palüd Maisäß down into the valley. Halfway up, there is the option of branching off in the direction of Zalimtal or Glingabrunnen. This hiking trail leads along the Glingabächlein down to the valley station of the Palüd cable car or to Brand Innertal. You can get back to the starting point with the bus line 580.
