Description

This tour is long, steep, and demanding – 20.4 kilometers and 1,460 meters of elevation gain require good fitness, endurance, and surefootedness.

The hike starts at the valley station of the Bergbahnen Rosshütte. First, follow the Römerweg (No. 6) towards Gießenbach – a wide path that is great for warming up. At the next junction, turn right onto trail No. 70 towards Schlagkopf. From here, the ascent becomes noticeably steeper.

The route continues along trails No. 73 and 212 to the Eppzirler Alm – a great place to take a short break and rest at the rustic mountain hut.

After recharging, the most demanding section of the tour begins. The ascent to Ursprungssattel on trail No. 74 is long and challenging. The path gets steeper, the terrain rockier, and the elevation gain is now really noticeable in the legs. But once at the top, the view of the impressive high-alpine landscape makes it all worthwhile.

After this tough climb, you finally reach the Nördlinger Hütte – the perfect place for a well-deserved break.

But the descent is also challenging: A steep trail (No. 84) leads down to the Reitherjoch Alm. After such a long hike, the downhill section feels extra demanding. Continue on trail No. 84 until it splits, then follow trail No. 83 back to the valley station of the Rosshütte cable car, completing the loop.
