As is well known, nature often shows off in Tyrol - but here, especially in spring, it makes such an effort that you wish you lived in East Tyrol. The Gschlößtal valley with its glaciers, alpine villages and mountain streams is just that beautiful.
A very sunny, easy hike with gentle gradients that is suitable for all fitness and age levels and can also be done as a circular hike in late spring. You comfortably pass the famous rock chapel and an old alpine village, while the Frauenbrunnen fountain with its healing water offers refreshment along the way. In spring, the hike is known for its blooming crocus meadows, provided you can avert your gaze from the impressive glacier world of the Großvenediger. The Gschlösstal can be easily reached by public transport (Matreier Tauernhaus bus stop). Refreshments are usually available here and in the Venedigerhaus from Whitsun onwards, but it is advisable to contact the businesses before starting the hike at the start of the season.

This leisurely hike starts at the Matreier Tauernhaus (1.511 m) and leads along a driveway, first slightly uphill past the alpine pastures Wohlgemutalmen up to the Berghaus Außergschlöß (1.680 m).
From the Berghaus Außergschlöß, the hike continues along the wild stream Gschlößbach without any major ascents towards the Venedigerhaus Innergschlöß (1.689 m). On the way from the Berghaus Außergschlöß to the Venedigerhaus Innergschlöß you can find the so-called Felsenkapelle (rock chapel).
The hike can also be done with a pushchair.
Alternatively you can also get to the hut by Taxi or "local train" Gschlösser Panoramazug.
