PANORAMARESTAURANT HOCHOETZ -> Bielefelder Hut -> Old Bielefelder Hut -> Wilhelm-Oltrogge-Weg -> SCHWEINFURTER HUT
Ascent with the Acherkogelbahn or the Ochsengartengondelbahn. From the mountain station, you hike along the forest road ascending to the Bielefelder Hut. Above the hut follows a steep ascent to just below the summit of the Brunnenkopf. There the path gently ascends to the old Bielefelder Hut. The hut is derelict, but the panorama terrace can still be accessed. Above the hut is a small mountain lake. You pass the ruined alpine pasture and continue on the Wilhelm-Oltrogge-Weg over the Achplatte. The hiking trail is considered very challenging, and some parts are exposed.
You hike past the Hochreichkopf below. On the partly exposed path to the Hochreichscharte, you must pass a section with cable protection. Climbing equipment is not necessary. At the end, you descend to the Schweinfurter Hut.
Travel comfortably and safely by train to the Ötztal train station. The final stop and exit point is the ÖTZTAL station. Afterwards, you travel conveniently and quickly by public transport or local taxi companies through the entire valley to your desired destination.
