The trail begins at an orientation board at the Melager Alm Alpine farm (1,970 m). Explanatory notices draw your attention to a total of 12 stations. The route leads through high Alpine terrain and therefore requires surefootedness and sturdy hiking boots. The destination point near the Weißkugelhütte at 2,557 m provides views of today’s glacier environment near the Weißkogel peak (3,738 m). Marks in the moraine show the past extent of the glacier from 1820­1850. This provides one with an impression of the extent to which the glacier has receded and the changes to the landscape in the last 160 years.
