Winter hike over the Baader Höhenweg
Tour description
The sunny winter hiking route leads from the valley town of Mittelberg to Baad. Via the Stützeweg, the winter hiking route ascends gently along the open slopes through the small settlement in Erlenboden and in the Alpenwald. The panoramic route offers an almost constant panoramic view of the peaks around the Gemsteltal. From the highest point, just after the Alpenwald, a gritted winter hiking path leads somewhat steeper down to Baad.
