Alpine pasture / hut / mountain restaurant
Your legs are burning on the ascent! It's a good thing that you can cool off again in one of the most beautiful mountain lakes in Zireiner See. And don't worry, the view of the Rofan tower will warm your heart again.
Stamina-demanding tour with a steep ascent to a beautiful mountain lake in the Rofan mountains. The striking Rofan tower on Lake Zirein is an impressive eye-catcher. On the descent, the circular tour takes you past two refreshment stops, each with sweeping views over the Inn Valley.
sturdy shoes and weatherproof clothing
Drive with car via Aschau to Wimm, past the Wimm farm to the barrier - here is the parking lot. The hike then leads partly on forest roads, partly over alpine meadows to the alpine area of Aschau (Eilalm, Labegg and Kreuzein), past the Anderl´s Hut (opportunity to rest 45 minutes from the parking lot). At the Kreuzein high pasture, the path branches uphill to Rosswies. From here it is a short section downhill to the Zireiner Lake. (3 h from parking lot)
Upon reaching the lake, shortly before the small stall, the "Gappsteig" leads uphill again to Rosswies, then straight ahead to the Rosskogel saddle and somewhat steeper downhill to the Sonnwendjoch mountain hut. (1 h 30 min from Zireiner Lake). From here a beautiful path leads downhill to the high pasture and then with only a few altitude meters up and down over the "Hörndl" to the already known Kreuzein high pasture, now back via the familiar route.
