Stop! While you're up here, you should also take time to enjoy the magnificent panorama of the Christaturm, Totenkirchl and Predigtstuhl. And if that's too ecclesiastical for you, you can always look up to the summit of the Fleischbank.
Challenging but rewarding mountain tour to the highest peak in the Ostkaiser. From the alpine pasture area, the trail initially leads moderately to the Gruttenhütte, a popular stopover, before the ascent becomes steeper and rockier. The alpine trail has exposed passages and sections secured by ropes and requires surefootedness, a head for heights and alpine experience. This tour is physically demanding and only suitable for experienced mountain hikers - but rewards you with magnificent views over the Kaiser Mountains.
The free hikers’ bus runs daily in summer between the Ellmau Dorf/Bauhof bus stop the trailhead of the hike to the Wochenbrunner Alm Alpine hut. Passengers can change to/from the KaiserJet and regular buses at the Ellmau Dorf/Bauhof bus stop.
