Most of the hikers know the mountain Kampspitze of the tour from the Hochwurzen to the Giglach lakes. On this route you experience the Kampspitze from another side.
This beautiful hike takes you into Alpine grounds and passes by several crystal clear mountain lakes and tarns - the Giglachsee Lakes, the Klammsee Lake and the Brettersee Lake. Several refreshment stops are waiting along the route and you will be marvelled by the panoramic views of the Giglachkar cirque and the Obertal and Preuneggtal valleys.
