June 28, 2024,🥾ab Kölner Hütte über Hirzelsteig zur Rotwandhütte und retour🎒

The Hirzelsteig... well, what can I say?
I'm torn about today's tour.
The scenery and panorama are amazing!
The path was also very varied and interesting.

The first and last thirds were terrible, though. Crowds of people struggled along the path. Many of them should have stayed on the Passer Promenade. Sandals, flip flops, dogs in arms, very overweight people... …

July 25, 2024,Hirzelsteig Hüttentour 🇮🇹

Beautiful high-altitude tour along the Rosengarten in the Eggental with various places to stop for refreshments.

Today was quite relaxed: The Paolina lift takes you comfortably up to the hut of the same name. From here you then go straight over to the Rotwandhütte via an easy path. You pass the well-known Christomannos eagle sculpture on a rock. I didn't …

Pure luxury. Two nights in a hut (the best hut in the world), so today I did a nice little walk (with a rope section and a bit of climbing) with almost no luggage and now I'm reading and relaxing... I don't even know what's happening to me :)

September 23, 2024,Der Hirzelsteig im Rosengarten

Classic hike on the Hirzelsteig in the Rosengarten. Unfortunately, some parts of the path are no longer passable, but there are "detours" in place. I would describe some parts as only partially passable, as they are sometimes very narrow, or slippery, muddy, and there is a risk of slipping and falling. Installing safety ropes could make it much easier and, …

September 27, 2025,20250927 🇮🇹 Hirzelweg

Continuation: So, after the trials and tribulations of continuing on to Carezza Lake, we arrive at the Paolina valley station. We book a day pass and drive up to the Hirzelweg trail. There, only the lower trail is signposted. We already know it from Thursday, but it's also very interesting from a geological perspective. We head back to the upper …

September 19, 2024,Hirtzelsteig am Rosengarten

This hike on the Hirtzelsteig from the Kölnerhütte to the Christomannos monument, then on to the Paolinahütte and on the Karl-May-Weg back to the Kölner Hütte is simply a must for a hiking holiday in this area. The path leads along the foot of the Rosengarten massif and you always have the steep rock faces on one side and the …

August 31, 2024,🇮🇹 Abschied vom Rosengarten 🌹

Today I took the cable car to the Kölner Hütte again and then took the Hirzelsteig to the Christomannos monument. I actually wanted to go back to the Rotwandhütte, but when I saw the many people hiking up from the Paolinabahn, I decided to take the cable car back down. A beautiful path with great views that you'll enjoy walking …
