August 8, 2025,Hike

This is an amazing hike, with the first two-thirds being relatively easy and the last third more challenging. If you’re in good physical shape, you can complete it in under four hours in good weather. On hot summer days, it’s best to start early in the morning so that you can walk most of the route in the shade. At …

August 30, 2022,207. 🇦🇹 Finkau - Leitenkammerklamm - Trissalm - Zittauer Hütte - Trissalm - Finkau

The perfect hiking weather was announced for today and so we jumped out of bed quite early and set off for Finkau. The starting point of today's tour is the parking lot at the Alpengasthof Finkau. It's still before 9 am, the valley is still in shadow and it's quite chilly. But there are not many hikers on the way …

“Can you charge your cell phone at their place? - as long as there is enough electricity..." - that made us sit up and take notice when we made the reservation, and that's exactly how it was. In the hut there was only one socket...

July 21, 2021,Wildgerlostal zur Zittauer Hütte

At the parking lot you have to pay 5 euros for the day ticket for cars. The first 30-45 minutes you should walk next to the driveway. Great little waterfalls and nice trail. You shouldn't underestimate the incline. Then it's 45 minutes on the road, with a break you can put your feet in the cold water or you can …

It started around 9 o'clock in the morning, from the parking lot of the Finkau restaurant. First for us it is a gravel path through the Leitenkammerklamm up to the Trisslalm. From here the valley widens. We walk along the Gerlos to the Zittauer Hütte cable car. From here it is a beautiful hike towards the glacier up to the …

Continue straight ahead along the stream through the beautiful Wildgerlostal to the large waterfall at the end of the valley. For the steep ascent to the Zittau Hut (2328m) a …

Fantastic weather - fantastic tour!
I'm still blown away by this hike. The Wildgerlostal Valley, with its beautiful Leitkammerklamm Gorge and the very well-maintained trail to the Zittauer Hütte, is simply magnificent. From the Finkau parking lot, take the forest road to the gorge. Pleasantly shaded and lush green. There are numerous great viewpoints into the gorge with its roaring …

@Garmin oh Garmin

My old eTrex HCx tracked it correctly. The Fenix 5x is so totally wrong

If I set stop when stopped, the watch recognizes walking with sticks as a break and often does not track longer sections.

If I enter the minimum of 1.6 km/h, it can also lead to the recognition that I am standing when climbing …
