THROUGH ZWIESELBACHTAL VALLEY

Take the marked forest trail into Zwieselbachtal, following the signs to Winnebachseehütte. Hike past Zwieselbacher Sennhütte and continue through the verdant Zwieselbachtal Alpine side valley. The forest trail ends at 2150 meters altitude - then continue on the footpath through rubble and boulders. The trail eventually climbs through a scree slope on the right, which can be a bit difficult and tiring as there is no signposted route leading across the gravelfield. Good stamina required! In the summer months there is no ice or snow on the way to Zwieselbachjoch ridge which is located to the right of the glacier. To the west you can see the glacier-topped peak of Grieskogel. Once you have crossed the saddle, the trail descends quickly through Winnebachkar cirque until you reach Winnebachseehütte.
