From the car park in about 30 minutes on a paved road to Dünser Älpele. From there via the blue-white (alpine trail) variant in about 1 3/4 hours to the summit. Absolute freedom from giddiness and surefootedness is necessary on this climb, as it is partly exposed! Return in about 1 1/2h not difficult via the Äußere Alpila Alpe back …

From there, I descended towards the Rappenköpfle. While I took the ridge path, there is …

August 15, 2024,Hochgerach – Rundweg von Henslerstüble

Very nice hike even if it's a bit too hot at the moment.
Komoot directed me to the mountain station (Henslerstüble) and not to the valley station 🤣
No matter - you can park there for 8 euros and you don't have to wait for the cable car.
