Circular hike

Attention: The Wetterstein Hut remains closed until further notice.

The tour starts at the Salzbach parking lot in the Gaistal. From there, you follow the forest road a short distance into the Gaistal before the trail branches off to the left and leads down the valley along the Leutascher Ache. Shortly afterwards, you cross a bridge to the Stupfer parking lot, where a steep 400-meter ascent begins until you reach trail no. 9.

At the Waldsteig junction, there are two options to reach the huts: Stay on trail no. 9, which climbs more gradually. Or take the steeper trail to the left, which leads more directly to the top. Both routes end at the Wettersteinhütte and Wangalm, which are close to each other. This is a great place for a break, with beautiful views and delicious regional food.

From Wettersteinhütte, the Wurziger Steig descends to Hämmermoosalm. After one last rest, the route follows an easy path back to the starting point in Gaistal.
