Description

From the bottom station of the glacier cable car in Hintertux, make your way to the left through the fence and then on the right via the broad path (no. 16) unitl reaching the bridge. Cross the stream and turn right following the winding path up to the so-called Hagl and then along the stone wall at the edge of the gorge until you come to the beautiful valley basin Waldeben. Wonderful view onto the glaciers and the waterfalls. From here you can take the route descending to the left for about 20 m and then on through the dwarf-pine fields and reaching the Spannagelweg (path AV no. 526), passing the Kessel waterfall back to Hintertux.
