This new tour starts at the Klinglerhof in idyllic Thierbach, (the restaurant is closed). We walk steeply uphill across lush green meadows to the Hösljoch at 1390 metres. This is the path into neighbouring Alpbach. After a rest at the little wooden chapel, where we can refill our flasks with freh spring water we continue up the copper stairway, a narrow but secure path that leads us to the foot of the Gradlspitz mountain. After a very well earned rest at the Holzalm hut we make our way back to the Klinglerhof, our starting point.
