OBERGURGL -> Zirbenwald -> Rotmooswasserfall -> SCHÖNWIESHÜTTE
From Obergurgl center heading south, follow the promenade path at the end of the village to the Zirbenwald. From there continue on the promenade path to a vantage point (way cross and bench) opposite the Nasenwand. Now turn left and ascend pictorially through the 400-year-old Zirbenwald to a small hill. Now it goes lightly to moderately uphill on a good gravel path along the west slope of the Hohe Mut towards Rotmoostal and over the bridge to the serviced Schönwieshütte. From there a recommended short hike (1/4 hour) over grassy slopes uphill to the Schönwieskopf with a beautiful view down into the Gurgler Rotmoostal.
