A first glimpse

Some impressions of the tour

Directions

From the Straniger Alm, follow trail no. 403 uphill across alpine meadows. You cross a farm track and continue uphill to Lodintörl (approx. 1870m) and follow the path towards the ridge. After passing an old tunnel from the First World War, the path gradually becomes steeper and leads along the ridge up to the Findenigkofel/Monte Lodin (2016m). On the other side of the summit, you descend along the ridge to the Lodinut Pass (1817m) and from there continue north of the ridge to Lake Zollnersee (1766). After passing the lake on the southern shore, it is not far to the Zollnersee hut (1741m).
