Fundustal Schafe
From the Frischmann Hut over the idyllic "Waalweg" to the Hintere Fundus Alm.
The conclusion of the trekking tour is a leisurely "migrating out" along historic paths. From the Frischmann Hut, you start flat and gently uphill towards the "Waalweg," a historic path beside a small brook, which shortly afterward along the way was channeled with wooden troughs and ingenious guiding systems to a irrigation canal for fields and alpine pastures. With a magnificent view over the Fundus Valley, you then reach the Köfler Pass, from there it's only a short leap between the alpine roses to descend to the Hintere Fundus Alm. There the local hut taxi awaits to bring the participants back down to the valley to their accommodation.
Author’s recommendation
Those who pay close attention can discover parts of an old World War II airplane wreck on a gravel bank about 20 minutes after the hut on this hike.

Equipment
Proper equipment for alpine mountain hikes is a matter of course for all tours in the Alps. Secure hiking boots or mountaineering shoes, breathable outdoor pants, a rain jacket, as well as a backpack with provisions, drinks, and a first aid kit are always part of the standard equipment on tours in the Alps. Sunglasses, sunscreen, headwear such as a bandana or hiking hat are also highly recommended, as well as a warm second jacket, trekking poles if desired, and possibly gloves. The choice of clothing should of course always be adapted to the current weather conditions.
