Description

The Hildesheimer hut (2899m) was built in 1896 and is located in the Stubai Alps, surrounded by Zuckerhütl (highest mountain of the Stubai Alps) 3.505m, Schußgrubenkogel 3.211m, Schaufelspitze 3.333m, Stubaierwildspitz 3.340m, Gaiskogel 3.129m, Wilder Pfaff 3.458m, the Pfaffenschneide 3.498m

The hike will be started at the Windachalm / Fiegls hut. Through the wide Windachtal wanders up to the Gaisstabel material cable car.From here there are two possibilities of ascent: The Ludwig-Aschenbrenner-Weg has a slight but longer ascent and the Steep Gaiskar-Weg (as described here), as the name suggests, a steeper but shorter climb.
