Salzbach

Highlight • River

A bit of balance is required here when crossing the small stream. After all, a narrow wooden bridge leads across. But why not just take off your shoes and take the opportunity to refresh your feet?

Great tour, great weather!
It's a shame, though, that the Wettersteinhütte is permanently closed and the Hämmermoos Alm had its rest day today!

The Gaistal, known as the Alm paradise, truly lives up to its name. I've often been here mountain biking, usually on the way between Ehrwald and Leutasch. This time, I wanted to experience the area a bit more slowly with my family. And it was worth it.

October 5, 2025,2025 10 05 Rundwanderung Hämmermoosalm - Wettersteinhütte - Wangalm

Temperatures plummet: Yesterday it was 17°C, today it was cold and wet, the mountains white at the top. Few hikers, a soothing silence, and I slowly ascend until the view opens up further and further. Snow flurries, clouds come and go, and a rain shower passes below me. The alpine hut is in hibernation, the tea warms me, and the …

It's a shame that this wonderful hut will soon cease to exist as a tourist and hiking destination. The long-distance winter hikes, a fantastic tourist attraction, will also no longer be available in their current form. The tenants are being forced to abandon the Wetterstein Hut after 17 years.

March 9, 2025,20250309 🇦🇹 Tirol: Wettersteinhütte und Hämmermoosalm

On our last day in Leutasch we were able to go on a real mountain tour. Guests from our hotel had told us that the high trail from the Wettersteinhütte to the Hämmermoosalm was already passable, as there was only a little snow left. That sounded promising - so we decided to do this beautiful route.
About half of the …

August 11, 2023,Die Wettersteinhütte oder Tourdaten richtig lesen will gelernt sein 😄😄

560 meters in altitude on a 12 km long tour is more likely to be assigned to the easy category. After all, the hikes in the Eifel show similar values. So tour selected and hiked off. Here we hike 540 meters in altitude over the first three kilometers 😬😬.
Of course it can be done, but it's already sporty and …
