The Gufferthütte in the Rofan mountains is idyllic, quiet and cozy. The approach follows an educational geological trail on a road through the gorge of the Ampelsbach and Filzmoosbach streams.
Easy hike in the Brandenberg Alps. Although the path leads through the gorge of the Ampelbach stream, it is wide and accessible with an all-terrain baby carriage (quite challenging and strenuous with a baby carriage due to the length of the tour). A total of 11 panels on the geological trail explain interesting facts about the layers of rock that are exposed here and provide an insight into the formation of the Alps. You are accompanied throughout by the sound of rushing water and beautiful views down into the gorge of the Upper Ampelsbach and Filzmoosbach streams. Only from the Klausbodenalm do you leave the gorge and hike comfortably over beautiful alpine terrain to the Gufferthütte at 1,475 meters. Inside and outside, there are plenty of play and entertainment options for children.
The geological trail begins at the car park Köglboden in Achenkirch and ends at the Gufferthütte mountain hut. This themed trail leads through the Obere Ampelsbach/Filzmoosbach gorge with 11 interpretive panels telling the long and exciting history of the Alps. See rock layers that were deposited on the North African continental shelf over a period of about 110 million years in the Mesozoic area with its periods Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous. The rock formations on this “excursion through millions of years of geological history” correspond to a stratigraphic table. On the return, a visit to the cave on the Schneidjoch with its Rhaetian inscriptions is a worthwhile detour.
Otherwise the return is via the same route.
Take the regional bus (line 4080 to Achenkirch, change to line 7801 to Steinberg) to Steinberg am Rofan to the car park Köglboden. Get off at the stop: Achenkirch Abzw Gufferthütte.
Car park Köglboden in Achenkirch (paid parking lot).
