As an alternative to the via ferrata on the Türml, you can climb north to a sub-peak of the Großer Happs.

August 11, 2025 The Filzenscharte has been significantly improved. You can now take the lower trail with your mountain bike (push your bike). Planks have been laid along the entire length through the moor, allowing you to push your bike easily without any incline. The fence you previously had to lift your bike over has also been removed and replaced with two removable electric wires. It's super convenient now. Please always reattach the electric fence! The walk through the moor only takes a few minutes. You can safely forget the upper trail.

Cozy snack station with friendly hut owners and a great view. We only had something cold to drink, but the food around us looked very tasty. The portions were respectable. Opening times: end of May to October, no closing day.

We hiked from the Eisseehütte to the Johannishütte. Since the rope-secured passage is ascended from the direction of the Zopertscharte (easy climbing up), we found it easier. We also found the descent to the Johannishütte easier. The difficulty is difficult to classify. We are mountain hiking experienced and passed the passage well in bright sunshine. I without a climbing harness, my wife (not 100% free from giddiness) with me to calm down.

A snack - this is where I learned what that is! A small snack for in between like a snack or one of the typical Austrian pastries. The Salzachjoch snack bar has been an institution for decades. On the old pass road there is a sign indicating whether the hut is open. At the hut in the Salzach valley, you won't hear much of the summer hustle and bustle and you can enjoy the view of the Reichenspitze and the last glacier tip of the Wildgerloskees.

Beware of the snow along the way. June can still be too early to cross the pass without snow. It was still meters high for us and we always caved in up to our hips.

If you actually want to go up here by MTB from the Krimmler Tauernhaus, you have to be prepared for long stretches of pushing and carrying. This requires extremely good physical condition and the will to get up there. On the other side down into the Ahr Valley, there are only shorter stretches to push, but the paths blocked with stones are not particularly nice to drive on.

The Zopetscharte is located here - and not as shown in the other highlight!
