Circular Trail “Waltner Rundweg” in Walten

Directions

Starting from the inn Alpenrose the path leads to the church. Before reaching the church, turn left at a little supermarket and continue walking through meadows till you nearly reach the housing area “Sagstatt”. At the little chapel turn right and take the way uphill. You’ll pass the “Auerhof” and then continue walking to the “Wanserhof”. From there the path leads through meadows and forest and back to the inn “Innerwalten”. Follow the pavement for about 200 m till you reach the inn “Jägerhof”, then turn left and follow the signposts. After about 30 min. the path leads alongside the so-called “Römerweg” (path of the Romans), which leads to the Jaufen Pass. After about 200 m follow the signposts to the left and follow the meadow path uphill about 100 m and then take the forest path to the “Santlhof”. From there, you walk downhill to the inn “Alpenrose”, the starting point.
