Description

Joint ascent to two peaks: first, we reach the Rosskopf at 2,399m before following the trail to the Wetterkreuz at 2,591m. After a short summit break, we descend through the stunning “Wörgetal” valley along the “Knappenweg” trail, tracing the historical footsteps of medieval mining, until we arrive in Kühtai. There, we circle the Längental reservoir and learn about the utilization of hydropower in Tyrol before reaching the stage destination, the Dortmunder Hütte in Kühtai (1,950m).
