Shortly before the summit of the Edelweisslahnerkopf, the recorded route deviates from the actual route.
Under no circumstances should you take the shortcut shown on our recording (straight up the mountain toward the summit), but rather the correct route shown on the map. In my opinion, the shortcut shown is life-threatening.
