Description: From Tux-Lanersbach, the trail initially follows the forest road, but soon an old mule track crosses the path and winds its way up through the forest until the view of Junsberg, Madseitberg and Grüblspitze becomes clear. Reaching the Höllensteinhütte after about 1 hour, the trail continues up to the Tapeneck. Past the Grierlacke, a forest road leads towards Lanersbach, the descent is possible via Juns/Klausboden or Tulferalm/Madseit.
Directions: The start is in Tux-Lanersbach, at 1,300 m above sea level. At first, the trail follows the forest road (trail no. 28) for a while, but soon a beautiful old mule track crosses the trail and winds its way up through the forest until the view becomes clear and the Junsberg, the Madseitberg and the Grüblspitze greet you. In total, the tour to the Höllensteinhütte (1,740 m) takes about 1 1/2 hours. The route continues through the forest up to Tapeneck (1,830 m). From afar the Grierlacke glitters and soon the Grieralm is in sight. The beautiful parlors at the rustic Grieralm and the self-carved eagle chairs invite you to linger. From the Grieralm, a well-marked, narrow trail no. 22 leads via the Tulferalm (1,700 m) down to Madseit.
Highest point: 1,901 m
Endpoint: Madseit
