Stuibenfall (Oytal)

Highlight • Waterfall

Stuibenfall is certainly not here directly at the Käseralpe but a few bends forward ... Wrong position marks heroes.

August 11, 2021,Dietersbachtal, Älpelesattel, Käsealpe ins Oytal 🌞🐂🛴

The bus went to the starting point at Christlesee. We started at 9 o'clock, there was also a short rain shower, but it soon subsided.
First it went up to the really impressive waterfalls of the Dietersbach.
Continue past the Gerstruben buildings.
He led me to the Dietersbachalpe via an easy path through the impressive Dietersbach Valley. Here I took …

Nice mountain tour through the Trettach and Oytal valleys. The Älpelesattel is easy to walk on and offers a beautiful all-round view. The Höfats is also often very good and impressive to see.
The descent from the Käseralpe over steep asphalt is unfortunately not so nice. All the more we look forward to the Oytal scooters.

May 14, 2025,Bergtour Gerstruben Älpelesattel Oytal

Another great day! Past Gerstruben to the Dietersbach Alpe and then a steep climb to the Älpelesattel! I almost couldn't manage the many steep steps; the last two days are still in my legs!

A quick nap on the saddle worked wonders, and it was so beautiful up there!!!

In this form a long round 🥴

Wide gravel and asphalted paths lead to the Dietersbach Alpe and Käseralpe. Here it makes sense - if you don't want to traipse - to drive there with a vehicle and make ascent and descent on the same side.
From the Oytal Haus you can also rent scooters and roll into the valley, …
