We parked at one of the 7 parking places just outside of Malbun. It’s a wide and easy path leading away from the village with great views of Malbun and the mountains beyond.
After passing Sassförkle, the views changed with beautiful panoramas.
As we headed up to Galinakopf, the path gets a little steeper, but it’s never difficult. There are some lovely views across the rugged mountains.
And then we were on the top for 360° views…
… in all directions…
Wonderful! We then retraced our steps back towards Malbun.
If you are still feeling fit and the the need for a second peak, you could also hike up to Schönenberg – another 300 height meters!
We did not find any places for food or accomodation on this hike. Take your own supplies!
