Description

After the Dolomitenhütte, the Rudl-Eller-Weg branches off to the left and leads steeply uphill across alpine pastures to the Weißsteinalmen. The route continues through larch meadows to the Zellin. Crossing rope-secured rocky gullies and slabs requires surefootedness. Via numerous serpentines, we reach the Hohe Törl (2,098 m). Passing the access to the Bügeleisenkante, and continuing across grassy slopes, we reach the summer path to the Karlsbaderhütte.
