- Temporada: Late spring to autumn, in the dry
- Para quién: Experienced mountain walkers; others, by the Ferdinand-Mayr-Weg

Route · 4 km · 2 h 15 climb · 843 m of ascent · equipped sections; you need a sure foot

The prettiest climb in the Höllental: from the Weichtalhaus, at the bottom of the valley, an equipped trail climbs the narrow Weichtalklamm gorge to the Kienthaler Hütte, on the slope of the Schneeberg. It is about 4 km and 2 h 15 of climbing, with 843 metres of ascent, and on the equipped sections a sure foot is essential. If you are not experienced or are with children, go up by the Ferdinand-Mayr-Weg, which is more comfortable, and come down the way you went up. Only in dry weather.
