Hut hike Steinseehütte - Württemberger Haus

Zams /
Difficulty ratings: difficult
Route length: 6.7 km
Duration: 4:00 h

Steep up, steep down: stage two takes you through magnificent mountain scenery via embrasures, holes, rope-insured passages and scree paths. The exertions are quickly forgotten in the cozy Württemberger Haus.

Tour character

Stage two is the challenging part of the tour. It takes around four hours, mainly on steep slopes and difficult climbs that require practice, routine and absolute surefootedness. The high trail is partly identical to the Adlerweg. Only when you have reached the Gebäudjoch (2,452 m) do you stop struggling upwards, because from there the trail descends steeply over grassy slopes and serpentines to the Württemberger Haus at 2,220 meters.

Description

This is the start of the challenging high-level trail - along the 20th stage of the Adlerweg - to the Württemberger Haus. The trail climbs gently up to the Steinkarscharte and over grassy slopes and scree before ascending more steeply through rocks and then gravel to the Roßkarscharte. After the saddle, the route descends steeply in a narrow rocky gully (ropes), later descending on scree in the slightly wider cirque. Finally, the route leads steeply upwards to the Gebäudjoch. The route continues steeply downhill on an unsecured path, over grassy slopes and finally in serpentines to the Württemberger Haus.
