MURE CAR PARK->Vordere Leierstalalm->ERLANGER HUT
Start at the Mure car park in the village center of Umhausen and walk through the Neudorf district. At the end of Neudorf, the path descends slightly to the Fundus Bridge. Cross this and continue straight along the wide forest road until you reach a junction. To the left, the path continues along the Fundustal to the Hintere Fundusalm and Frischmann Hut, and to the right to the Vordere Leierstalalm. Keep right and follow the marked trail to the Vordere Leierstalalm and further to the Erlanger Hut. The ascent from the Vordere Leierstalalm to the Erlanger Hut is difficult, going almost straight up.
