Turn-by-turn directions
A marked hiking trail leads from the Glockenhütte mountain hut in the direction of Klomnock. Along the path, hikers are rewarded with wonderful views of Lake Windebensee. Once you have reached Klomnock, join Trail no. 161, which continues along the mountain ridge to Mallnock. Here you can enjoy an impressive view of Großer Rosennock (the highest peak of the Nockberge mountains). Continue to Brunnachgatter and follow Trail no. 1614 to the “Rote Burg”, a dolomite rock formation containing iron that glows red in the sun. From here, you can follow Trail no. 15 over Hoher Steig and back to the Glockenhütte.
