The saddle marks a transition between the two mountain villages Gramais and Boden. The 2097 m high crossing is of historical importance, as it has been used as a link between the two isolated mountain villages for several hundred years. The hiking tour over the saddle starts in the mountain village Gramais. The 1329 m high starting point lies in a side valley of the Lechtal and can be reached by car or during the summer months by hiking bus. From the centre of Gramais the path leads along the right side of the Platzbach stream to the east. After about one kilometre you reach the turnoff towards Kogelsee and continue eastwards in the thinly wooded valley. Gradually one reaches rubble journeys and the terrain begins to become steeper. At almost 2100 m above sea level you reach the Sattele and thus also the highest point of the hiking tour. On the opposite side of the saddle it goes downhill again. With a view of the settlement Pfafflar and the Hahntennjochstraße, the trail mainly leads down into the saddle valley in grassy terrain. After about five hours walking time you reach the mountain village Boden and thus also the destination of the hiking tour. The hike can also be done in the opposite direction from Boden to Gramais. The stops along the hiking route are the Gasthof Bergheimat in Boden and the Gasthof Alpenrose in Gramais. Photos of Esther Kerber.
