From there, the adventure begins! Attention, if there is still snow, it can become very tricky. From the scree, it is easy to descend to the Rotbandleiter. Those who are afraid of heights should better turn around at Wissberg, as the ladder goes up about 25 m vertically. It can be secured with a climbing aid set.<\/p>\n<p>Once the ascent has been completed, the route leads through a barren lunar landscape to the Rugghubelh\u00fctte. It takes a good sense of direction to find the best way to reach the hut.
