Description:
This attractive mountain route was awarded the Tyrolean Mountain Trail Quality Seal at the beginning of July 2017 and promises quality and safety on hiking and mountain trails, as well as a special nature experience.Directions:
The starting point of the route is the valley station of the Wannenjochbahn in Schattwald. Take the 3-seater chairlift comfortably uphill. After arriving at the mountain station, go past the playground "Michl-Land" on the right and follow the signs towards Bscheißer. After the first ascent, the path first descends over alpine meadows - caution when wet - risk of slipping due to partially clayey ground - then ascending again, shortly before the summit the path changes to gravel. Then descend to Güntle and ascend briefly towards Ponten. The path to Rohnenspitze initially leads downhill quite a way over Zirleseck until we finally spot the mountain rescue hut. Pass it on the left. The ascent to the summit is secured with a wire rope. Surefootedness is required! It goes moderately uphill until we finally see the summit cross. The descent runs below the summit cross first on coarse gravel, then changing to finer gravel. We follow the yellow signs towards Schattwald. The path to the lift parking lot of the Wannenjochbahn runs partly on a wide gravel road, and partly on narrow hiking trails.Tip:
Enjoy your brought-packed snack and the beautiful view from the respective summits!Safety guidelines:
It should be noted that mountaineering carries an increased risk of accidents and injuries. Despite careful route planning, there is always a basic risk. Preparation through endurance sports, appropriate technical training and further education as well as personal caution reduce the risk of accidents and hazards. But please never forget that the weather in the mountains can change very quickly. Stay on marked hiking trails.
Equipment:Your personal mountaineering equipment must be safe and functional and meet the respective technical standards. Every hiker is advised to inform themselves about the planned routes either in alpine specialist literature or locally.
