Circular route through the Haglere nature reserve and stunning panoramic views.

The start and finish of this demanding hiking route is in the village of Sörenberg. Through the Obersörenberg district, you hike uphill towards Alpweid. From here, you increasingly immerse yourself in the natural landscape. Juicy alpine meadows and shading forests. At the Teufimattsattel, take the branch towards Haglere. From there, you can admire the colorful moorland of the Haglere area. The nature reserve promises pure nature. Look and listen around, many animal species, moor plants, and gnarled mountain pines can be found here.

At the summit cross, almost 2,000 m above sea level, you can enjoy a fantastic view - over the village of Sörenberg but also of the surrounding mountain scenery.

Now the descent begins again. Enjoy the diverse moorland once more on the first section of the trail. In the Mittlistgfäl area, take the hiking trail back to Sörenberg. Here, you will need to use your legs again. You hike back towards Alpweid and from there back to the village.
