Description: From Schleching (alternatively from Ettenhausen Geigelstein car park), the spectacular new hiking trail winds almost exclusively through the nature reserve. During the redesign, care was taken to maintain harmony with nature. In addition to the existing smugglers' path, which is suitable for strollers up to the border, another variant has now been created along a path with an alpine feel. It leads - mostly as a path - past Rudersburger Lake, the so-called "Toter-Mann-Bach" and a small waterfall. After a new, second suspension bridge at the Entenlochklamm with a breathtaking view of the Achental mountain river Tiroler Achen, the hiker finds the spectacular monument of an exposed glacier mill. It is now also possible to take a shorter circular route (approx. 30 minutes) over the old and new suspension bridges and on the Kössen side to two spectacular viewing platforms with a view of the alpine canyon. The banks of the Tiroler Ache invite you to cool off in summer. Children also have the opportunity to create a creative oasis with natural materials on the sandbanks. The Klobenstein church with its associated legend of the cloven stone is also worth a visit. After a refreshment in the neighboring Klobenstein inn, the return journey towards Schleching is possible either on foot along the path you have previously passed or by bus from the Klobenstein stop. Alternatively, you can continue hiking to Kössen. The return journey to Schleching and the surrounding area is also made by bus from the stop in the town center (Kössen Event Center stop).
