HUBEN MÜHLE -> Polltalalm -> NIEDERER BREITLEHNKOGEL
The demanding hike starts at Huben/Mühle. At the beginning, cross the small bridge on the left and then take the wide forest road immediately on the right. Follow this only a few hundred meters until a footpath branches off to the right. This leads grassy through a clearing up until you reach the forest road again. Until reaching the Polltalalm (a place to stop), there are still several switchbacks to overcome. Behind the Alm, follow the path towards Polltal and turn right towards Breitlehnkogel. From here, the path goes steeply up over a ridge to the summit.
Author’s recommendation
To fully enjoy the magnificent view, we recommend an early start, as the ascent takes quite some time.
