Directions
The loop starts in Warth at the village square and leads down to Seebachsee. Above Seebachsee along the goods road, a hiking trail continues straight ahead on the first hill and you cross the Bildegg parcel from above. Descend along the Lechweg towards Teschenberg down to the Lech river. Cross the Lech and follow the hiking trail towards the municipality of Lech. At the Bodenalpe, a path leads down to the right, where you then cross the Lech river and follow the path up to the Bodenalpe. Pass the Bodenalpe and follow the path opposite the main road back up to Bürstegg. Past Bürstegg, follow the hiking trail towards Warth, past the Wannenkopf to the mountain station of the Steffisalp Express. Watch out for summit luck: with a short additional ascent, you can still reach the summit of the Wannenkopf. The Steffisalp-Express can then be used as a descent aid. If you still have some energy left, you should definitely walk along the panoramic lake. To do this, follow the path upwards from the mountain station of the Steffisalp Express, which leads past the mountain station of the Wartherhorn Express towards the Karhornbahn mountain station. From there, it is worth taking a detour to the panoramic reservoir “Panoramasee”. Continue along the hiking trail past the Hochalphütte to the Spitziger Stein with another reservoir, from where you descend again via the “Luchere” descent towards the Steffisalp-Express valley station. Shortly before reaching it, the path of the village circular trail leads off to the right, past the Huber Alpe back to Warth.
