Directions

The starting point is the Kristbergbahn mountain station (signpost running routes) and leads gently uphill on a wide path towards the valley. Great views open up again and again. The distinctive mountain peak of the Lobspitze is your constant companion along the route. Through forest sections you reach the Kneipp facility "Siebenbrünnele." Here 7 mountain springs come together. Those who don't find the water too cold can do a Kneipp round while enjoying the magnificent panorama. The route continues straight ahead and you then reach the Hochmoor Wildried. You return to the starting point, the Kristbergbahn mountain station, by the same path.
