Golmer Höhenweg

Description

A beautiful hike with breathtaking panorama. You follow the signposts towards Golmerjoch. The path there (about 30 minutes) is quite steep. For that, you are already rewarded with the first beautiful view. From here, for example, you can see the Zimba, the imposing Three Towers, and even the inconspicuous Drusenfluh.

You are right in the middle of the Rätikon. This mountain range is characterized by lush meadows and barren limestone cliffs. The flower splendor, simply the entire image of nature, makes many cameras run hot.

On the further path, you finally reach Geißspitze, where the Three Towers are within arm’s reach. Good footwear is recommended for the descent from Geißspitze.

Before continuing through the Gauertal towards Latschau, you can still make a detour to the Lindauer Hut. This culinary side trip will be worth it.
