Tips

George
The tunnels were driven in the First World War for the war of position between Austrian and Italian mountain hunters in the rock, where the soldiers remained under adverse conditions for months. A tunnel spilled today should have almost led up to the summit of Paternkofel. Since the tunnels sometimes lead upwards through steps in complete darkness, you have no chance, without a headlamp, to even get to the exit next to the large bunker. From there you should carry at least a simple climbing equipment despite being secured by steel cables

From Gamsscharte, the direct descent is possible through a dark long war tunnel (600 meters through the interior of the mountain) via the De Luca Innerkofler Steig (B) to the Drei-Zinnen-Hütte.
