Fortress Pass Strub round

From the town center in Lofer, we follow the Höhenstraße Loferer Alm uphill at the post office. We turn left from the Luisenpavillon onto the Berta promenade and hike towards Kalvarienberg. From there, several switchbacks lead down to the Konradsweg and further down to the valley to the Augustenpromenade. We follow the Augustenpromenade upstream (Loferbach) path no. 56 to the footbridge opposite the fortress ruins of Pass Strub. Here we cross the Loferbach and the federal road. After visiting the fortress, we go via the Paulinenweg (path 70) into the Lofer high valley. A few meters further downhill, we reach the Exenbach spring on the right. Here begins the Wilhelm promenade, which leads us past the Kneipp facility to the parking lot at Hotel Lintner, where we cross the federal road and return from the sports field and playground back to the Augustenpromenade to Lofer.
