Bartholomäberg via Monteneu to the Wannaköpf

The start of the route is the Baroque Church Bartholomäberg. From the parking lot next to the church, the route leads you over the meadow slopes up to the Knappagruaba, the former ore mining area. On this stretch, you must cross the road several times. Past the Fritzensee, it continues uphill towards Monteneu-Wannaköpf to the hunting lodge. From the hunting lodge, you march uphill towards Monteneu (1883m). This is also where the marked winter signage ends. For fit snowshoe hikers, the goal is the Wannaköpf (2031m), but only with avalanche transceiver equipment and after studying the avalanche report during the route planning. You return to the starting point via the same path.
