Description
Starting from the Gruttenhütte mountain hut, head west on road 14a. After around 30 minutes, climb a few steps as you turn on to the Wilder-Kaiser-Steig trail (WKS) no. 823 beneath the Kaiserkopf mountain. Stay on the WKS heading in a northwesterly direction, walking beneath the Treffauer and Tuxeck summits via the Lenggries (one of the largest gravel cirques in the Wilder Kaiser region). As you pass by aromatic mountain pines and through mountain forests, the Kitzbühel Alps and the glaciers of the Hohe Tauern mountain range are always in view.
