Description

The route starts in the town center of Samnaun-Compatsch and steadily climbs through the forest on the cultural path into the Zander valley. After crossing the Malfragbach and thus the national border, it continues across the Zander meadows upwards to the Fliesser Alp. After the stop there, it goes directly below the alp to the Zander creek. Past a lovely playground with a fire pit it goes with a slight descent to Spiss (1678 m above sea level), the highest community in Austria. At the church in Spiss, turn into the L348 Spisser Street, which leads down to customs at Spissermühle. The route follows the main street for about 1.5 km back to Samnaun-Compatsch.
