Description

The tour begins at the Stoankasern alpine hut and cheese dairy (1,984 m). From here, follow trail no. 35, which steadily ascends through the Toten Böden, a high-mountain landscape with a unique atmosphere. After a demanding yet rewarding climb, you reach the turnoff to Junssee at 2,680 m. Junssee is a true natural wonder: only in the height of summer does it remain ice-free; at other times, it often glistens under a layer of ice, nestled amidst the impressive mountain scenery.

After a well-earned break, you return along the same route.
