The hike begins in the district of Lehn, where the ascent to the Lehner Waterfall via ferrata is located in the middle of a larch forest. The well-accessible trail leads into the forest and cuts off the serpentine ascending forest road. After about half of the way the Lehnbach has to be crossed. As soon as you leave the forest and wide meadows open up the Stabelealm comes into view. Our destination is now about 45 minutes away. On the way to Wöckelwarte you also pass the Innerbergalm. A stop in one of the huts is worthwhile in any case. Both offer excellent meals. After lunch you walk on and reach you destination - the Hauerkamm where at the top of the Wöckelwarte a small hexagonal wooden house can be found. From there you can let your gaze wander over Längenfeld.
