Nice alternative ascent to the Gaudeamus Hut. On hot summer days it is also cooler than the other paths. :-)

March 19, 2022,Wochenbrunner Alm, Blick zum Ellmauer Tor, Steinerner Kreis, Runde von Going

On this tour I had some problems with the recording (Garmin handheld). I then mixed in the photos. However, these were not always correctly localized. So the order is anything but correct.

The tour itself was very varied. From completely snow-free spots up to 30cm snow depth, everything was there. Much of the route is paved at the beginning and …

Very nice hike on the sunny side of the Wilder Kaiser. A really nice break in the Riedlhütte

September 25, 2022,[384] Wilder Kaiser: Sonnseit Runde | Von Ellmau hinauf zum Wilden Kaiser 🌦 🥾🥾 🍰☕️

The peaks of the Wilder Kaiser are already powdered. It snowed deep down. We want to explore the area around the Wilder Kaiser in the next 14 days. Our first hike takes us from Ellmau along the Sonnseit circuit. Passing the Riedlhütte, which is closed today, we reach the Ellmau stone circle, an energetic, self-contained natural force field on the …

May 4, 2025,Wochenbrunner Alm, Riedlhütte - loop from Ellmau ("Das Kaiserblick Hotel🇦🇹")

The initial intention was to hike the "Gruttenhütten runde" (wilderkaiser.info/de/tours/gruttenhuetten-runde.html), but due to the uncertain weather conditions we shortened the tour. We were lucky though and got home dry after having a great lunch at Wochenbrunner Alm.

Nice hike, but the intermediate destination Riedlhütte has been closed, as it looked for a long time.

June 17, 2025,Tirol: Going – Ellmau – Riedlhütte – Spatlahnerklamm

Today we went from Going via Ellmau up to the Riedlhütte, where they say they serve the best Kaiserschmarrn in the area. Whether it's the best... I wouldn't say, but it was freshly prepared and very tasty! So, refreshed, we continued on, enjoying magnificent views of the Wilder Kaiser and the Ellmau Gate, via the Ellmau Stone Circle, the rather …

It starts in Ellmau along the golf course towards Wochenbrunner Alm. At the end of the gorge, continue towards Anna-Grotte. Then the Riedlhütte signpost (822). We walked back to Ellmau over the Haflinger trough to the Kaiser-Bad. The hike is very nice, especially through the gorge. It is a bit strenuous for little feet, sturdy shoes are a must! There …
