Description

Walk from the starting point on a well-prepared but steep path to the catered mountain hut Rüsselsheimer Hütte, set in a picturesque location. After the hut, the path continues steeply uphill over rocks and gravel and then a moderately steep track turns off to the left. Walk by this track directly to the Gahwinden viewpoint, where a breath-taking view of the Glaciers and lower valley awaits. Return via the outward route.
