Historical transition over the main Alpine ridge. Much committed in former times. That's why there are sometimes properly paved sections. As it is an important junction in the network of trails, the South Tyrolean Ahrntal as well as the Austrian side lead many ways up the pass. The view of 2634 m on the two valleys and the mountains of the Zillertal Alps as well as the Venediger and the Durreck group is great! The next hut is the Birnlückenhütte at the head of the Ahrntal valley. Approximately 2h on the Lusatian High Trail.
The Krimmler Tauern can be reached as a day tour in strenuous Kraxelerei from Kasern. Or from the Krimmler Tauernhaus. (Transport to the hut with a shuttle service from Krimml).

In September, mountain hikers can expect dreamlike, almost lonely mountain paths in the Tauern.
