The first trail of "Walser Omgang" is not just physically challenging but also demands from you to let go off your everyday life and to turn towards nature.

Nice resting places on the way from Heuberg to Zaferna chairlift.

Turn-by-turn directions
The path leads from the center Riezlern over meadows and fields in the Zwerwald down to the Breitach and through forest and glades (sulfur spring in the hell, covered Leidtobel bridge and Leidtobelkapelle "Maria help") to Hirschegg. In the village center Hirschegg it goes into the chair lift Heuberg to the panorama way, which releases again and again the view on the mountain chain from the Söllereck into the Widderstein inclusive the valleys Wildental and Gemstel. Access to Mittelberg is possible via the Zaferna chairlift. Still past the Stutzalpe, it goes down to the Baader Höhenweg, which ends at the Bergkirche St. Martin in Baad. Now it goes along the Breitach, back to Mittelberg, Hirschegg or Riezlern.
