Trail Details
Steg to Kulm
Summary: This first section of the hike takes us from the Steg FL, Tunnel bus stop up past the guest house at Sücka to Kulm, where we join the ridge path towards Rappenstein.
From the Steg FL, Tunnel bus stop, we cross the road and the bridge over the river, on to Sückastrasse. Turning right, we initially follow the road as it ascends the side of the mountain.
After a short distance, we take a gravel path that leaves the road on the left-hand side.
Note: This path is not signposted with the usual trail markers, but a sign indicating it as a Fussweg.
The gravel path leads up the side of the mountain, roughly following the path of the road, and giving us views to our right through the trees of the valley below and mountains beyond.
Eventually, the path reaches a stile and the path enters a more open, grassy area, before the gravel gives way to just a track through the grass that takes us back onto the road.
At the road, we turn left and ascend a short distance to Berggasthaus Sücka. From the signpost at Sücka, we follow the road as it continues to ascend, with the open views of the valley to our right.
As we continue upwards, we finally arrive at the signpost at Kulm, that marks the point where we join the ridge path up to Rappenstein.
