The route to the Wildwiese leads from Wenigzell via the Gasthof Bergler Stub'n to the Wildwiese at an altitude of 1,256 meters. There you can not only enjoy the view from the Wildwiesenwarte, but also fortify yourself with regional delicacies in the hut. The circular route then leads back to Wenigzell via the ski lift in Wenigzell.
