August 2026 \u2014 ca. 3 Minuten Lesezeit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes you don\u2019t need a big mountain hike to enjoy a really beautiful day. This circular walk on the Tsch\u00f6gglberg is one of those routes we especially like to recommend to our guests: easy-going, varied and with a stop for food that is well worth taking a little extra time for.<br\/> <br\/> <br\/> <br\/> <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The starting point is Gr\u00fcner Baum above V\u00f6ran. You can reach it by public transport as well as by car. There is a large car park directly at the starting point  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Through Meadows and Forests to Leadner Alm<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From Gr\u00fcner Baum, we first follow the trail towards Leadner Alm. The route climbs gently through forests and across the wide meadows of the Tsch\u00f6gglberg <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It takes around 50 minutes to reach Leadner Alm. The mountain hut lies at an altitude of about 1,500 metres, surrounded by larch meadows and forest. The walk there is already part of the experience: not a spectacular mountain tour, but a peaceful hike that gives you time to take in the landscape  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From Leadner Alm, the trail continues for just a few minutes to Gasthof Waldbichl.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Stop at Waldbichl<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the perfect place to slow down and let time pass a little more leisurely<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gasthof Waldbichl is located right next to our alpine pasture, where our cattle used to spend the summer. At around 1,500 metres above sea level, it lies surrounded by meadows. What we particularly appreciate at Waldbichl is the honest South Tyrolean cuisine, with a strong focus on high-quality, regional and natural ingredients  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our tip: Don\u2019t continue your hike straight after the main course..<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Claudia\u2019s homemade cake creations are simply part of the experience for us. Better to order another coffee, enjoy a slice of cake and stay seated for a little while longer <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Waldbichl is closed on Thursdays. We recommend checking the current opening hours before setting off. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Back via the Family Reflection Trail<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the return journey, we don\u2019t simply take the same route back<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From Waldbichl, the route follows the H\u00fcttenbachweg through forests and meadows down towards V\u00f6ran. It then joins the Family Reflection Trail <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The artistically designed stations invite you to slow down, walk more mindfully and, from time to time, turn your attention to more than just the landscape. They focus on family, trust, joy, a sense of security and other things for which there is sometimes too little time in everyday life <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This gives the return journey a completely different character from the ascent..<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Tour at a Glance<\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Starting point: Gr\u00fcner Baum \/ LeNoir Forest Parking near V\u00f6ran<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Route: Gr\u00fcner Baum \u2192 Leadner Alm \u2192 Gasthof Waldbichl \u2192 H\u00fcttenbachweg \/ Family Reflection Trail \u2192 Gr\u00fcner Baum<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Distance: approx. 9\u201310 km, depending on the chosen route variant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Walking time: approx. 2\u00bd\u20133 hours<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Elevation gain: approx. 200\u2013300 metres<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Difficulty: easy; some sections of the H\u00fcttenbachweg are a little steeper<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Refreshment stop: Gasthof Waldbichl<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Getting there: accessible by bus or car<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parking: large paid car park at Gr\u00fcner Baum<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Recommendation: comfortable hiking shoes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Tip<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Don\u2019t start too early \u2013 and don\u2019t make a schedule either.<\/strong> Take a leisurely walk to Leadner Alm, allow plenty of time at Waldbichl for lunch, coffee and homemade cake, and take your time exploring the small stations along the Family Reflection Trail<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For us, this isn\u2019t a hike to be ticked off as quickly as possible \u2013 but a beautiful day for walking, eating, taking in the views and simply enjoying the moment.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Informationen:<\/strong> Leadner Alm \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.waldbichl.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gasthof Waldbichl<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.merano-suedtirol.it\/de\/hafling-voeran-meran-2000.html\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"www.merano-suedtirol.it\/de\/hafling-voeran-meran-2000.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tourismusverein Hafling\u2013V\u00f6ran\u2013Meran 2000<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sentres.com\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"www.sentres.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sentres\/Outdooractive<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An easy, enjoyable walk through meadows and forests, a good lunch, homemade cake and, to finish, a path that invites you to slow down and walk mindfully.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1301,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[107],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1314","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-places"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.baecksteinerhof.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1314","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.baecksteinerhof.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.baecksteinerhof.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.baecksteinerhof.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.baecksteinerhof.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1314"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.baecksteinerhof.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1314\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1315,"href":"https:\/\/www.baecksteinerhof.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1314\/revisions\/1315"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.baecksteinerhof.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1301"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.baecksteinerhof.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1314"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.baecksteinerhof.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1314"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.baecksteinerhof.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1314"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
