Tour description

The winter hiking trail runs along the Breitach from the innermost valley village Baad to Riezlern. Along the Breitach trail, there are numerous entry and exit points that allow the winter hike to be shortened and designed as desired. On the hike, which has no major altitude differences, two of the remaining covered wooden bridges in Kleinwalsertal are crossed or passed: the Höfle Bridge in Mittelberg and the Leidtobel Bridge in Hirschegg.

Tips

The section between Hirschegg and Riezlern is especially suitable for families with children: the winter hiking trail runs along the children's adventure path "Burmiweg". At the Walserhaus at Kleinwalsertal Tourism, the Burmi puzzle can be picked up and small Burmi prizes can be won.


Further links

In the section between Baad and Mittelberg, the winter hiking trail runs partly parallel to the cross-country ski trail. Winter hikers and cross-country skiers show consideration for each other here. Pedestrians stay on the prepared winter hiking trails.
