The Tour
UMHAUSEN -> Mure car park -> Neudorf district -> Fundus bridge -> Fundustal/Leierstal crossroads -> Vorderer Fundusalm -> HINTERE FUNDUSALM
From the Mure car park in the village center of Umhausen, the route leads leisurely through the Neudorf district. After crossing the Fundus bridge, follow the wide forest road to the Fundustal (left) and Leierstal (right) crossroads. From there, take the path to the left towards Fundustal, past the Vorderer Fundusalm (not managed) and then on to the Hintere Fundusalm. A little further lies the beautiful Fundus lake. The Fundustal in the eastern Ötztal Alps is secluded and deserted high above Umhausen. A hike up to the Hintere Fundusalm is worthwhile not only because of the Köfler Waalweg but also because the solitude and beauty of nature here can be wonderfully enjoyed. Green meadows and the crystal-clear Fundus lake invite you to linger on a hot summer day. Those who wish can also visit the beautiful Fundus lake or continue hiking to the Frischmann hut via the Köfler Waalweg.
