No, this is not Sardinia or Malta. This beautiful spot lies in the middle of the Lienz Dolomites at an altitude of 2,260 meters. The Karlsbader Hütte is enthroned on a rocky plateau directly on the water above the crystal-clear Lake Laserzsee
From the parking lot of the Dolomitenhütte, this challenging tour leads over rope-secured rock passages and steep scree slopes to the Hohe Törl (2,098 m) and on to the Karlsbader Hütte. Sure-footedness is particularly important on the scree-laden ascent. The impressive backdrop of the Laserzwand and the proximity to via ferratas make the route varied and exciting. The way back is relaxed along a wide road, which can be shortened by climbing.
At the car park of the Dolomitenhütte, the trail leads immediately up to the left, across a meadow. After the short forest section, the first rope-secured section over rocky terrain begins. It is quite easy to do, even without a via ferrata set. After the ridge you come to the Weißsteinalm (no food service) and follow the signs across the moderately steep alpine meadow. After about an hour's walk, the challenging part of the hike begins. After the Auerlingköpfl, the trail leads over rope-secured rock passages to a scree gully below the Laserzwand. The steeply ascending path leads in several serpentines to the Hohe Törl (2.098m). This area is very rutted and requires surefootedness (danger of falling rocks from hikers ahead). After the Törl, the trail descends slightly and passes many climbing and via ferrata entrances. After the Laserzwand, the trail rejoins the wide road. After about 2.5h you reach the Karlsbader Hütte.
The way back is via the gravelled road. This can be shortened via several paths (follow the signs to the Dolomitenhütte).
