Tour 269 begins at the tourist office in Westendorf and takes us along the Brixentaler cycle path to Hopfgarten. The not particularly easy ascent towards the Tennwirt begins just after the valley station of the Salvenbahn. On the good asphalt road, we quickly gain height and soon have a great view over Hopfgarten. After the Gasthaus Tenn the road changes into a gravel path. The forest protects us a little from the sun over the last few metres. Soon afterwards we reach our highest point, the Gasthof Rigi. If you want, you can reward yourself for your efforts with a meal. The descent is initially on the same route, but at a distinctive junction we take the path to the right in the direction of Itter. After a few metres on the descent, we take the junction again to the right and return to Hopfgarten via Itter and Hacha. From here it goes back as usual through the Windau valley to Westendorf.
