    Ridge climb to the Gelchwanger head. From here is also the wonderful descent into the valley over the Brunnenaue possible.

    A nice climb over meadows, but it takes a bit of time 😅

    Wonderful descent with a great view, whether in advance or back on the Hochgrat. The playful streams and torrents with their roaring falls are just beautiful and highly recommended.
