Trip description
From the parking lot at the reservoir to Mühlbacher Badl
The starting point for our hike is the hikers' car park at the reservoir above Gais, about 2 km from the small village of Mühlbach. From the car park we follow hiking trail no. 2, which is a well-maintained forest trail, up towards Mühlbacher Badl. Hiking trail no. 2 is laid out in such a way that it leads up through the valley with a slight incline into the Riesenferner Ahrn Nature Park. Already after approx. 1 km we reach the Mühlbacher Badl (1,694 m). There is a small healing spring here, which was much visited by locals in earlier times. Today, the Mühlbacher Badl is a mountain inn with a small chapel.
From the Mühlbacher Badl to the Oberwanger Alm
We follow hiking trail no. 2 further past the Mühlbacher Badl. The forest path winds its way through the valley with a slight incline. The surface changes from partly coarse gravel to finer, packed gravel. Further up we pass some alpine huts and cross the small river that runs through the valley. Directly after the river and in front of one of the alpine pastures, the Huber Alm ( 1.854 m), which offers a second refreshment stop on this tour, we have to master the steepest part of this tour with up to 20 %. After the Huberalm we follow the forest road up to the Unterwanger Alm (1,948 m) and to the Oberwanger Alm (2,030 m), where the forest road ends and therefore also represents the final stop for us.
We go back the same way, enjoying the view along the valley.
