Lech River Trail - Alternative Walk : The Green Ring

From the starting point Postamt take the free bus to Zug.

Get off at the stop "Zuger Kirchle".

Follow the paved road through the village until the turnoff to the Fischteich. Here a meadow path branches off to the right, which leads through the "Graben" to the alpine fencing.

From there follow the path, diagonally to the right, slightly ascending between the pillars 7 and 8 of the Zug cable car to the edge of the forest. Then a forest path leads to Balmalp. From there it goes on a broader Alpweg, which leads to the summit of Kriegerhorn (2,173 m), here you can register in the book.

From there down to the Chluppa (stone wall) and the memory lake over to Kriegeralpe. After a break and snack, continue on the broad Alpweg. Soon a path branches off to the right which you follow.

At the next fork, follow the beautiful hiking path on the left through blooming alpine meadows until you reach a footpath. Here you follow the path on the right downhill, always along the stream until you come to a paved side road.

Turn right and pass the Hotel Goldener Berg. Here you will find a gravelly footpath that leads you left down to the mountain station of the Oberlech mountain railway.

Turn right and follow the freight path through the forest path to the Libellensee. The forest trail takes you to the extensive meadows of the Schlegelkopf.

From here you follow the broad freight road, which is moderately downhill to Rudalpe, where a rewarding stop on the beautiful sun terrace awaits you. From here it goes downhill until you meet a paved side street. Go left and next right downhill.

You will reach an old covered wooden bridge.  Follow the Lech promenade on the left side of the river to Pension Waldesruh.

Cross the Lech on a bridge and you're back at the starting point.
