This hike starts at an altitude of 1,325 metres above sea level at the "Grüne Bank" above Rietz. From there, you join the Firsteggsteig trail, which leads relatively steeply uphill through the forest. After walking for about an hour, you will reach the Peter-Anich-Hütte mountain hut, where you can stop for a break and a bite to eat. The route then continues past the Unterseeben Alm hut (1,940 m, not open to the public), before turning right onto a hiking trail up to Rauher Kopf peak.
Tips | notes: You need a permit in order to drive to the starting point. The permit is free of charge and is available at the town hall in Rietz or online .This saves you two hours of walking time. The journey is possible in a normal car. Please note: after heavy rainfall, the road is difficult to drive and an all-terrain vehicle is recommended.
