Description

Starting point: Söggenaste, 1,723 m (Zillertaler Höhenstraße - High Road, toll road)

A short piece on the right to the East of the Söggenaste you turn left at the road fork and follow the marked way over pastures and through a forest to the next crossing. There you turn left and follow the precipitously rising way to the Kristallhütte. From here - above the timber line - you enjoy a marvellous panoramic view on the surrounding mountains. After a 40 minutes ascent you reach the wonderful situated Kristallhütte. The descent leads over the same way back to the starting point.
