    This is the whole circuit around Staufen, with both original outdoor heads by Karren upper station. A Staufen summit ascent and the separate viewing-platform path are outside this reference.

    At Schuttannen the reference passes through a public parking area and meets a road junction with a 40 km/h limit and no mapped sidewalk. Allow for vehicles. The named inn and Staufenalpe are outdoor passing places; no building entry, meal or current opening is promised. Source read 2026-11-03.

    By Karren, the original recorded line crosses the projected station footprint; the mapped path stays just outside its boundary. It grants no station interior access. Hospitality at Staufenalpe is described for the alpine summer season and needs a current check. Source read 2026-11-03.
