Public transport
Line 446, bus stop Kabinenbahn Rotwand;  alternatively, during the high  season, also line  440.
Directions
From Moos, take the cable car up to the beautiful Rotwandwiesen meadows. The path (no. 18) first crosses the flat meadows of the Rotwand, then leads through sparse forest and finally descends to the Kreuzberg pass (1636 m). Throughout the entire route, you can see traces from the World Wars, especially at the Arzalpenkopf, which is completely riddled with caverns and tunnels. From the Kreuzberg pass, the return journey to the Rotwand valley station can also be made by public bus. Otherwise, hiking trail no. 13A continues to the "Signaue" (1450 m) and finally leads back directly to the starting point via the Sexten circular trail (no. 1). The duration given is for the outward and return journeys.
