Torkopf 2.114m

The hike is not a great challenge with its just under 1,000 m elevation gain and is definitely worthwhile. The Torkopf is an insider tip and hikers looking for a solitary peak set in the centre of the idyllic mountain landscape in Inneralpbach won't be dissappointed.

The tour starts at the barrier in the Lueger Valley. From the Hochberg parking lot, the trail first leads through the forest and then through wide alpine pastures along a forest track to the first destination, the Faulbaumgartenalm. The first 400 m have been covered and the hut is an ideal spot to have a rest and something to eat and drink. The route continues past the Filzalm (food and drinks not provided) to the Steinbergalm. From the starting point up to here, a total of 600 m have been covered in approx. 2.5 hours walking time.

Hannes Klingler from the Steinbergalm is known for his excellent homemade cheese and gray cheese. Cows, heifers, calves and pigs are cared for by the herder and provide the base for excellent dairy products. A tasting is therefore a must, whether before or after the hike to the peak.

From the Steinbergalm, after a further 400 m you reach the grassy Torkopf. From the mountain pasture, first follow the path to the right and then the markings over the Joch to the summit of the Torkopf. Touch base in paradise and enjoy moments to the full at this isolated eminence.

Tour highlights:

• extensive alpine pasture area
• the houses down in the valleys are hidden from the peak;  all you can see is the idyllic mountain landscape of Inneralpbach
• two possibilities to find something to eat and drink
