Breitenbach am Inn:

At the district "Glatzham" two Jakobsweg routes meet - one from Kufstein direction and one from Wörgl direction. From Glatzham ca. 500 m along the country road heading west, then turn right and after 100 m immediately left again, slightly ascending to the district Berg - enjoy the great view over the Inn Valley here - then downhill again (caution by a large oak with a bench there is a small refreshment at the "Jakobswegkastl") to the "Gatterer Chapel". From here the route variant leads to Kleinsöller Church - simply cross the street and gently downhill to the "Kleinsöller Church". Back to the main path at the large fountain (shortly before the church) turn left - and pay attention to the signs - immediately turn right again over a meadow path back to the country road. (You emerge exactly opposite the Gasthof Krämerwirt).

Now the path leads ca. 100 m downhill over the sidewalk and then turn left into the "Mitterweg" (small side street). At the next junction turn left again and downhill through the forest via hiking trail No. 2 to the village center. At the church follow the sidewalk northwards and after about 300 m at the "Kämpfer Chapel" turn left onto the Roman road. Follow the route to the country road, here a short uphill section and then turn left towards "Peisselberg". Now follow the narrow asphalt road again to "Buchberg". Here a large panorama board indicates the new route. Right uphill, past the farmhouse into the forest, follow the route until after a short steep descent you reach a field path again.

Kramsach:

Here straight ahead to the crossroads and further west towards the Museum of Tyrolean Farmhouses. Just before the museum area turn left and follow the signs.

After the farmhouse it goes downhill again to the Inn and onwards to Kramsach to the "Waidach Chapel".

Rattenberg:

Then you hike in the direction of the Inn, there over the bridge to Rattenberg. Rattenberg is the smallest town in Austria!

Pass straight through the small town and after the row of houses turn left over the federal road bypass, along the railway embankment to the supermarket, past the supermarket, follow the route.

Brixlegg:

After the railway underpass you have to follow the B171 for about 300 m. But immediately turn left again onto the side street, through Brixlegg to the Matzen Gate.

You now walk in the Matzenpark past tennis courts, then right uphill to the playground and downhill again to Matzen Castle to Gut Matzen. Pass on the north side of the building and then immediately back into Matzenpark to Lipperheide Castle. Immediately next to the castle turn left onto a side street again and follow the street gently up and down to St. Gertraudi and continue to the Ziller Bridge.
