WetterseePhoto: Ötztal
From the parking lot near Fundusbrücke - Neudorf (alternatively parking lot Mure center), it goes leisurely over the wide forest road to the Fundustal (left) and Leierstal (right) crossroads. You continue to the right and reach the front Leierstalalm (not managed) after about 2.5 hours on foot. From there, it continues about 700 m along the track before you turn left onto the hiking trail. This now leads over somewhat steeper terrain uphill; at the top, you are rewarded with a wonderful view. The Wettersee, just behind the hut, is very worth seeing.
