The start of the jogging round is at the Rüfiplatz. We cross the old wooden bridge and jog until we come to the road. At the road it goes uphill, and at the next junction left the path uphill. The climb is steep and leads to Oberlech. It goes past the gypsum holes. Especially in summer a wonderful geological highlight. The tour is varied and sometimes challenging. After the Grubenalpe we jog downhill to the Kriegeralpe and over the Rudalpe back to Lech to the Rüfiplatz.

The signposted jogging trail starts behind the Rüfiplatz. We cross the Lech, jog right along until we reach the road. We walk along the asphalted road and at the next junction we turn left and walk up the narrow path. The steeper climb leads to Oberlech. Here the path is asphalted again. The round continues to Tannegg, past the barbecue area and the gypsum holes to Grubenalpe. The route now leads along the wide gravel path.
