Scenic circular hike to the highest managed mountain hut in the Wilder Kaiser.
This challenging mountain hike starts at the hiking information center in the village center. You cross the main road towards Kaiserbad, walk along the 27-hole golf course and, at the end of the avenue, continue on trail no. 23 through the district of Wimm and the hamlet of Riesen uphill towards Riedlhütte until you reach the Biedringer Platte. Here you will be rewarded with a unique panoramic view of Ellmau and the Kitzbühel Alps. You continue walking across alpine meadows to the Riedlhütte. After a short break, take hiking trail no. 14/14a steeply uphill to the Gruttenhütte. There, while enjoying a Tyrolean "Brettljause", you are very close to the Wilder Kaiser. Refreshed for the way back, you now follow the steep and partly rocky path no. 825 downhill towards Wochenbrunner Alm. Here you can enjoy the view and the beautifully laid out wildlife park before starting your way back down to the valley. You hike through the Spatlahner-Klamm and follow hiking trail no. 14. This leads along the Hausbach stream across the 27-hole golf course back to the hiking information center in Ellmau.
