Stage 09 Luchs Trail Palfau - Lassing (main route)

Description:
There is also a longer version of this stage:
Luchs-Trailstage 09 Palfau-Lassing (long version)Directions:
The normal variant leads via the Moaralm: From the Stiegenwirt in the upper Palfau (i.e. in the east of the elongated village of Palfau), follow hiking trail no. 284 on the forest road (also the MB tour) to the Moaralm. Here the MB tour branches off to the right and you follow the forest road for a very short distance in the direction of the Naturfreundehütte. After approx. 100 m, the trail branches off to the Moarhochalm (1,550 m, trail 284), which lies between the Gamsstein and Hasenfuß peaks.

From there, follow the signs for Niederscheibenberg/Sandgraben/Hollenstein. The path with the number 64 leads downhill and joins a forest road. Now head towards Sandgraben/Hollenstein and reach Niederscheibenberg. First follow the signs towards Sandgraben/Hollenstein, then follow the signs for mountain bikers towards "Große Scheibenbergrunde 76".

After a short steep ascent, you will come to another mountain bike signpost at the top of the forest path. Turn right towards "Gamssteintour neu" and then straight ahead at the next signpost towards "Gamssteinrunde neu". The route along the forest roads is long but pleasant. On hot summer days, the forest provides refreshing coolness. Where the forest path joins the tarmac road, turn right over the bridge and along the stream until you reach the Mendlingtal Adventure World snack station.

The last section through the gorge of the Mendlingbach stream (Mendlingtal Adventure World, entrance fee payable), where you learn a lot about the former timber drift, is a great experience.
