Bench With a View of the Lechtal Valley Tunnels

Highlight • Viewpoint

On the way to the Simms Hütte you have to go through several short tunnels. In the 2 longest, a small lamp is an advantage.

Tunnels and cave views on the way to Sulzlalm

Highlight (Segment) • Cave

The hiking trail leads through several tunnels that were cut into the rock by the mountain farmers to open up their alpine pastures. A flashlight is helpful, but not essential, as the tunnels are not particularly long.

Beautiful tour, with the best hiking weather. The ascent is quite steep in places and exhausting. But the view from the Simms Hütte makes up for the effort.

August 19, 2024,Vanuit Holzgau via Tunnelweg naar Sulzlalm en richtig Frederik Simms Hutte

Beautiful, challenging walk through many tunnels with great views and along many waterfalls, one bigger than the other. Along the Sulzlalm to the Frederik Simms Hutte. We didn't get to the latter. This is another pearl of a walk!
Not suitable for buggies!

Shortly before 6 a.m. it was time to call it a day with the 😴 and get out of the 🛏 - woken up by guitar music from the young hut warden 🙂.

After a small breakfast we went into the 🥾🥾 and on to today's destination: the Holzgauer Wetterspitze.
