Kalkofenwanderung am Weißhorn

The tour starts from the Auerleger alp following the way nr. 2 to Jochgrimm. Arriving on the street we turn right and follow the way nr. 1 to the Neuhütt alp.

After 2km we reach the calcium stove, which was built in the 19th century with the stones of the Weißhorn mountain. The calcium was used to built and paint houses. The people filled the pit with the stones and firewood coverd with clay. They set it on fire, which burned for seven hours. When the fire stopped burning they took the stones out to be further processed in the village.

To return to the Auerleger alp we follow the same way back.
