Description

From the Tuxerjochhaus, the AV trail no. 527 leads over the Frauenwand and the Kasererscharte, passing the "Steinernes Lamm", to the Geraer Hütte (section of trail no. 525 to Steinernes Lamm) . From the Geraer Hütte, path No. 502 climbs steeply over scree slopes, past the ruins of the World War II molybdenum mine, to the Alpeiner Scharte 2,957m. 
View of the opposite Hochfeiler 3,502 m and the Untere Schrammachkar, to which the steep descent over scree requires surefootedness of the mountaineer!
At the small lakes of the Untere Schrammachkar, trail no. 502 joins AV trail no. 526 in the direction of the Olperer Hütte.
