Highlight • Summit

Here, at the Kesselwand, we reached the highest point of our tour today at 1,750 meters. From here, we continued over dangerous snow and ice fields (in mid-June!) to the Hofpürglhütte, which is already clearly visible from here.

Today's tour took us from the Hofalmen past the idyllic Almsee and Unteren Rinderfeld and on to the Hofpürgelhütte. On the whole tour you have fantastic views of the surrounding mountain landscape. I can absolutely recommend this hike.

Beautiful, varied hike with a view of the Bischofsmütze and Torstein. A detour to the Steiglpass isn't really worth it, just something for your legs 🦵

This tour was a dream! First, it was a steep climb, then a quick refreshment at the hut, then a continued climb along the wall and then a leisurely descent to the Almsee lake!

However, it was besieged by tourists brought in by bus, just like the alpine huts themselves... 🙄. Not my thing at all!

But otherwise, great! 👍🏼

Very nice path that sometimes requires sure-footedness. After yesterday's dry rest day, the weather forecast was trimmed to ☔️ as always. This time we were really caught a bit on the descent. But absolutely nothing against the storm last night! ⛈

Although difficult also suitable for families. Also ideal for transit on the Tauernautobahn or if you are in Dachstein or in Filzmoos. Crazy high alpine scratch round.

Were 6 hours. The lower tip of the map doesn't count, I didn't stop the tour in time again and was already on the road with my motorbike. It was very exhausting and, as described, with dangerous sections of the route. But great and quite varied.

A truly beautiful area. Very beautiful nature. No lifts. And a great hut right from the start—but I treated myself to a different hut at the end. There was a wedding next door—good luck to them—there are hardly any more beautiful places to get married. A great choice 👍🏻💯
