Route description
The starting point is the Laucheren car park in Oberiberg, where the path crosses the Minster straight away and shortly afterwards the Fallenbach. The route passes the Fallenbachtobel.
At kilometre 0.5 the highest point is reached at 1,123 metres; the lowest lies at 1,096 metres. The steepest section is five per cent, right at the start.
There are no climbs worth mentioning, and technically the loop makes no demands. That makes it suitable for all ages, including with a pushchair.
It is recommended in the summer half of the year. Given its very short length, it combines well with one of the longer hikes from Oberiberg or with a trip up to the Hoch-Ybrig. Food and drink are available in Oberiberg.
