Directly from the starting point at the Rüfiplatz take the bus direction Spullersee. After the ride through the natural jewel of Zugertal Valley, get off at the last stop. You will circle the Spullersee on a wide alpine path. Over the southern dam we continue around the lake. Only after you have left the lake, the path climbs slightly. At the Ravensburger Hütte, you can stop for a bite to eat and enjoy the fantastic views of the lake below. Strengthened on the alpine path, we continue uphill for a short while. Keep left and take the stone bridge to cross the narrow stream. At the Alpe Brazer Staffel you can stop for a snack to taste fresh alpine cheese, spicy bacon and other specialities of the Alpe. Between the dwelling house and the stable we continue our way uphill on the alp trail, after a few loops we reach the highest point, the Stierlochjoch (2,009 m). From here it goes downhill moderately steep. After a few meters of altitude you leave the wide alpine path and follow the narrow path straight ahead. It always goes slightly downhill first over alpine meadows, then through the forest. You meet a forest track and follow it downhill. Soon a signposted path branches off to the right towards "Wasserfallweg". Now it goes down to the waterfall on a narrow path. Here you will also find a wonderful barbecue area that is especially recommended on hot days. Follow the path downstream towards Zug. You will come across a wide path. Now you can either walk along the Lechuferweg to the right in the direction of Lech, or you can go left to the fishpond and take the bus back to the starting point in Lech.
