  • Directions

    From the Faschinajoch we take the circular hiking trail «Rund ums Zafernhorn» (Around the Zafernhorn). On a narrow path (marked red-and-white) we walk to the Bärenalpe and the Zafernmaisäß. Via a yellow-and-white marked trail we reach the east side of the Zafernhorn and the alpine pasture of the same name. We hike on a red-and-white marked path (E4 Cyprus-Tarifa) to the Barholomäusalpe. A narrower red-and-white marked trail takes us back to the Faschinajoch.
