Stubaital - Koppeneck, Maria Waldrast and Fulpmes

 UK Area: Other...
 Details: A signed footpath to Maria Waldrast from the top station of the Serlesbahn leads to forest track in the direction of the Ochsenhutte. Just before the hut a path climbs steadily to eventually join another track marked to Maria Waldrast. Passing two viewpoints the track becomes a path again contouring through the woods to meet the track to Maria Waldrst. After passing over a col the track descends to the church and gasthof. Return over the same col but continue north on the track before taking a rougher path through the woods signposted Sonnenstein Gasthof. The track descends crossing the base of a couple of scree slopes before finally improving just before the Gasthof. Below the Gasthof, a dirt track signposted Fulpmes and Kreuzweg leads down, passing stations of the cross, before finally descending in a series of zig zags to cross the Griesbach and then forking left to join the road at Fulpmes bridge. If there has been heavy rain take the same route down but follow signs to the Serlesbahn Talstation to avoid the Griessbach crossing. 9.8km, 199m ascent, 890m descent. Recorded 22/6/18
