From the Gollinghütte, a series of several serpentines leads steeply uphill to the Greifenbergsattel and the Greifenberg (2,618 m) – undoubtedly one of the most scenic mountains in all of the Niedere Tauern mountain range.
After a much-deserved break, you will begin a short descent into the high-alpine landscapes of the Klafferkessel.
The lake plateau of the Klafferkessel is a relic of the last Ice Age and impresses with its special alpine flora. The Klafferkessel teems with water unlike any other area in the Alps, the core natural resource feeding “Wild Waters” in Rohrmoos’ Untertal Valley. Passing the striking rock formations of the Greifenstein, you will hike from the Klafferscharte through the Lämmerkar cirques to the Preintalerhütte and Waldhornalm at an altitude of 1,657 m.
Descent to the valley:
Via Riesachsee Lake you reach Seeleiten car parking in Untertal valley in approximately 2.5 hours.
