Mountain hikes Wildseeloderhaus - Wildseelodergipfel

Fieberbrunn / Kitzbüheler Alpen
Difficulty ratings: medium
Route length: 6.0 km
Duration: 3:40 h

A "must have" in your personal tour book: the summit tour to Fieberbrunn's local mountain, the Wildseeloder (2,118m). Lots of stories, legends and traditions accompany you along the way. The Wildalm cheese dairy invites you for a tour and tasting. Countless sheep graze on the slopes around the massif. Legend has it that the alpine dairymen, who lived in wantonness and sacrilege long ago, were flooded and drowned in the Wildseelodersee lake. A simple but significant monument to the long mining tradition is enthroned at the summit: the cross forged from the last Pillerseer steel.

Description

From the Lärchfilzkogel mountain station, the trail leads downhill into a hollow and from there down a gravelled path to the Wildalm pastures. In the Wildalm show dairy, you can not only taste and buy different types of cheese, but also watch notstalgic films from Fieberbrunn in the smallest cinema. From the Wildalmen, the trail becomes narrower and steeper. You climb in serpentines towards the Wildseeloderhaus, which you can already see from afar. Again and again you come across grazing sheep along the path. After about 45 minutes you reach the Wildseeloderhaus, an Alpine Club shelter that also offers overnight accommodation. Nestled between the peaks of Wildseeloder and Henne, it "appears" up there - the black-blue Wildseeloder Lake. According to legend, the sacrilegious alpine dairymen drowned in its waters. Their cries can still be heard today at the small waterfalls - the Schreienden Brunnen - far down in the Hörndlinger Graben. 
The trail leads along the right side of the lake. The path climbs up the lake wall (slope) via hairpin bends to the Törl. Go through this rocky gap. Over a ridge and finally some steeper steps you reach the summit at 2,118 m above sea level in about 45 minutes from the Wildseeloderhaus.
The last summit cross forged from Pillerse steel is a sign of a long mining tradition in the region.
For the way back down to the lake, you can choose the path in a southerly direction over the Seenieder. From the Wildseelodersee, the same path leads downhill to the Wildalmen and up to the Lärchfilzkogel mountain station.
