Hut hike

At the end of parking lot P5 Salzbach, the ascent to Rotmoosalm begins. There are two options here: to the left over the bridge is the wide forest road, but for this tour, we take the narrow trail that starts to the right of the parking lot.

The path follows the Jägersteig and continues onto the Rigelesteig, steadily climbing through the untouched mountain landscape. The narrow trail winds steeply uphill in sections, always following the gently flowing Salzbach, until finally reaching the Schäferhütte. This is a perfect spot for a well-earned rest, with a stunning view over the Gaistal and the surrounding mountain scenery.

From here, the route continues toward Schönberg and eventually reaches Rotmoosalm, nestled beautifully in the alpine meadows. The hut not only offers a cozy place to stop, but also impressive views of the vast alpine pastures of the Gaistal and the towering peaks of the Mieminger Range, the Wetterstein Mountains, and the Hohe Munde.

After a relaxed break, the return follows the same trail back down into the valley. A varied and rewarding hike, featuring narrow natural trails, breathtaking views, and an authentic alpine
