Kristberg Lakes Circuit

The circuit starts at the Kristbergbahn mountain station (signpost for running routes) and leads a short distance on the wide path valley-inward. To the left, via Bergknappenweg, the path goes through a forested section up to Kristbergsattel. From Kristbergsattel, hiking trails lead down into the neighboring Klostertal valley. Continue straight and you will pass the Silbertaler forest school. On the left side is the small Hugelsee with a wonderful panorama of the surrounding mountain landscape. After the forest school, the wide path ascends steeply in switchbacks and then you reach the Ganzaleita area with the first viewpoint. From the viewpoint you catch views into the neighboring Klostertal valley as far as Stuben. The Flexenpass road to Lech and the Rote Wand are visible. If you're lucky, you can even see trains winding along the Arlberg railway line in or out of the valley. The circuit continues over a meadow path. Along the ridge and in zig-zag you gain more elevation and then reach the Falla area and thus the second viewpoint. There you turn left and follow the path. It goes uphill and downhill. You then reach the Gäßtuala area and shortly afterwards pass the Korallenriff. Along the path, partly directly in the sun, you reach via Almeinweg the alpine hut located somewhat above Fritzensee. Immediately afterward you reach Fritzensee, an idyllic lake in wonderful scenery. You deserve a break and the meadows may also invite a short nap. The broad path then leads back. You first pass Fulasee and then shortly afterward Torasee. These lakes and Fritzensee are popular excursion destinations as well as well-known photo motifs and the panorama and landscape are worth a side visit at any time of the year. Slightly uphill it goes to Fulateia. Via Maschleu and the last lake of this route, Kapusee, you shortly afterwards reach the starting point.
