Siegerlandhütte

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Just before the hut there is another short, steep climb. Friendly hut owner and good food. What more could you want.

Rocky Slope in the Ötztal Alps

Highlight • Climb

uhhh... I can't tell komoot what the opening times are.
But: walk carefully and pay attention to the markings, if you stay on the path you'll be safer.
You can see it clearly in the video:

Climb 10m up to the right, then the path becomes easy and you can enjoy the view and look forward to the hut.

You can see the place nicely here

August 11, 2023,Hüttentour Tag 3: Grenzübertritt nach Südtirol

How good that felt! On the last day of our hut tour, the weather finally cooperated and the sun shone from every buttonhole. This was a warming treat for us two-legged friends after the rather cold days and even colder nights in the high mountains. The tour over the Windachscharte was technically quite demanding for two- and four-legged friends, but …

August 25, 2025,Gasthaus Hochfirst zur Siegerland Hütte - Söldens Stille Seite Tag 3

The third day of the hike leads from the Hochfirst Inn to the Siegerland Hut. The stage initially runs above the pass road to the Timmels Bridge and then continues through the picturesque Timmels Valley, which captivates with its tranquil and secluded beauty. After about 3 km, a cappuccino stop at the Timmels Alm is worthwhile. You have to take …

June 14, 2022,Wanderung nach Großer Schwarzsee

Today we made a super nice tour to the large Schwarzsee. I am a real Ruhrpott child and would honestly describe myself as a lowland Tyrolean...but I managed to hike this really great tour 💪 When I got to the top I was really proud of myself 😁 the reward was on the way back at the Timmels Alm my …

September 11, 2022,🇮🇹🚶Timmelsbrücke - Timmelsalm - Timmler Schwarzsee 🔙

The start was at the Timmelsbrücke, where there are enough parking spaces but also a bus stop. The first section ran over a wide gravel path to the Timmelsalm, which is definitely worth a trip without further ascent. From there we went on the usual, well-marked hiking trails, past and over various streams, waterfalls and beautiful streams as well as …

September 20, 2023,Schwarzsee hoch und runter

Despite low clouds, we hiked from the Timmelsbrücke to the large Schwarzsee. Despite the clouds, it was a very worthwhile tour. Super varied and a new landscape behind every crest. The fog even cleared at the top. On the way back we stopped at the Timmels Alm. 👍

September 21, 2021,Aufstieg zum großen Schwarzsee, mit vielen Kühen, Pferden und Murmeltieren😍

Today I walked an alpine path for the first time, up to 2500m it went up to the large Schwarzsee. I found the ascent and descent very challenging, luckily I had hiking sticks with me. The weather couldn't be better, but a cold wind was already whistling high up. In between you had great views of snow-capped peaks, just beautiful …
