Circular tour from Salzbach car park via Gaistalalm to Tillfussalm

Very nice area for hiking with many alpine pastures, everything is easy to walk on with a dog and also suitable for prams as long as you walk the forest road. The weather was mixed again, but it was a nice hike

Today we went up to the Tillfussalm in the Gaistal🥾...partly very strenuous but super beautiful👌

That was fantastic. We took the bus to the Salzbach stop, then followed the Ganghoferweg trail uphill for a bit, before continuing parallel to the road designated as a winter hiking trail (though it's not open to the public). We headed first towards Hämmermoosalm, then crossed the toboggan run and continued on a well-maintained winter hiking trail towards Geistalalm. We reached it after about an hour from the parking lot. There were spectacular views of the Munde mountain, which looks amazing from every angle. The sky was overcast, so the light was mostly black and white in all shades of gray. The snow on the rock formations—I could look at it forever. Since it was still too early to stop at Geistalalm, we continued the 15 minutes to Tillfussalm. The path wasn't cleared and was wide, but well-trodden and beautiful. And then the sun came out! We took a break in the sun in front of the alpine pasture—who would have thought that this morning? ' ... Above, the Ganghoferhaus – inaccessible – beautifully situated. Back to the easily walkable lower path – in summer it leads to the Ehrwalder Alm, for example – it had been used. Snowdrifts piled up on rocks and plants in the area of the Leutascher Ache, which flows here; everything glittered – magical. Back again. Then we headed sunny to the Geistalalm – friendly innkeepers, good food, and affordable prices. About an hour from there, mostly downhill and easy, to the parking lot where we arrived just in time for the hourly bus. A very nice, easy hike.

Wonderful little easy autumn hike with delicious cheese dumpling soup in the Tillfussalm...

Today we went on a short walk to the Tillfussalm in the rain. Of course we had rain gear with us. We then stopped for tea and sat at a table with several people. One of them had been very ill the day before. We probably caught Corona and have been in very poor fitness ever since. We hope to get back to our old form as soon as possible, because Madeira is coming up in the winter and we want to go high again. We're doing our best.

To kick off my vacation, I went for a relaxing hike in the Gaistal Valley. The weather was much better than my weather app had predicted yesterday. There was still a bit of drizzle at the beginning of my tour, but after a long rest and refreshment at the Tillfussalm, the return journey via the Ganghoferweg trail was a mix of clouds and sunny spells. Overall, a beautiful hike in the Gaistal Alpine pasture area, which also offers many other places to stop for refreshments.

The gravel forest path up to the Gaistal Alm is easy to walk even in bad weather. Only the path between the 2 pastures was muddy.

A well-traveled path and the forest road (our way back) is heavily frequented by e-bikers. The way there goes through the lush green alpine pastures with a view of the mountains to the left and right through 2 serviced huts. The way back along the Ache is very impressive because you can see how deeply the narrow stream has dug itself.
