Hikers can currently only access the area via Hiking Trail No. 1! You can reach the Kulmspitz via the S350 and S306 mountain bike trails, but only from the “back,” that is, via Radstatt/Almsplatzl or via Oberwang (unfortunately, the loop via the S350 is not possible). **Beautiful but challenging circular hike through the municipality of Innerschwand to the Kulmspitz with its new lookout-tower.** Start and end of this circular hike is at the beach of Innerschwand. Please do not forget to stock up with a snack before the start of the tour, as there is no refreshment-stop along the tour. After the start the path leads to the village centre of Loibichl, past the homecomer church. Always on traffic-poor freight roads, under the west highway A1 through we reach in the district Anzenberg a forest way. From there it always goes uphill to the highest point of the hike, the Kulmspitz. Strengthened with a summit snack we follow the hiking trail downhill. Don't forget to make a 30m long detour to the left about 200m below the summit - here a sensational panorama opens up to you at the edge of the forest. The descent takes place on forest paths and partly on asphalted goods paths, until we reach already known terrain near Anzenberg. We follow the already known path back to the starting point at the bathing facility. Tip: Don't forget your swimsuit so that you can end the day with a jump into the Mondsee.
