A long day in the mountains lies ahead of us. We carefully check the route and the weather. If everything fits, we can start the day. We take the panoramic Venter Höhenweg trail to the Tiefenbach Glacier. A stop at the Tiefenbacher restaurant gives us the energy we need to continue up and down to the Braunschweiger Hütte, where we spend the night.
Difficult, challenging stage on black mountain paths. Sure-footedness and high alpine experience for demanding, partly pathless terrain is required. Glacier experience and a very good level of fitness are required.
