Start of the tour

Description

Car park 500m after the village church in Gschnitz down the valley on the right-hand side (free of charge). From there, cross the road and the Gschnitzbach stream to the south and after 300m turn right onto the forest road to the west. Follow this forest road, after approx. another kilometre you head back towards the road and the Gschnitzbach for a few metres downhill. At the road, cross the Gschnitzbach again to its north side and immediately turn left again. Continue slightly uphill for 1 km on the forest road and then take a sharp right uphill to the Innsbrucker Hütte. At about 2000m above sea level, you will cross a shoulder onto a flatter passage, from where you can already see the destination, the Innsbrucker Hütte.

Please take your time at the Innsbrucker Hütte and then make a U-turn, about 200m back, but then continue straight ahead (do not turn steeply downhill to the right again) on the Jubiläumssteig. The Jubiläumssteig is made for trail runners and initially leads slightly downhill to the south of the limestone wall and then turns steeper towards the south. The trail leads back to the car park.
