The starting point is located directly alongside the Jöraboda bus stop in front of the Malbun Center. Following a brief and steep ascent, the trail passes to the right and continues to rise all the way to Sareis mountain station. Now follow the sign in the direction of the Pfälzer hut on the path along the ridge. After Augstenberg you descend directly to the Pfälzer hut, where the path turns sharp left towards Täli / Malbun. Leaving Vaduzer Täli, you stay on the Liechtenstein Höhenweg and make a detour to Alpe Pradamee. From there the trail returns directly to the starting point in Malbun.
