Route: Geisterklamm - Zenzn- und Itzlkapelle - Ahrn - Gasse - Ganghofermuseum - Plaik - Obern / Moos - Katzenloch
Directions:
At the beginning of the natural spectacle of the Leutasch Klamm offers the choice of either via the Gletscherschliff inn (currently closed - no restaurant service until further notice!) or past the Höllkapelle (a historic Jacob's chapel dedicated to pilgrims), each to reach the entrance of the picturesque Leutasch valley.

From now on, a few meters after the church, the trail continues to the left along the crystal-clear Leutascher Ache.
In Ahrn the path changes to the other side of the valley to the still very original hamlets of Lehner and Gasse, where several of the typical farms of the valley welcome the pilgrim. Leaving the hamlet of Gasse, the Way of St. James offers an impressive view of
