View of Schlegeisspeicher

Highlight • Viewpoint

Amazing view, a bit crowdy but worth it

Riepenbach waterfall and bridges

Highlight (Segment) • Waterfall

Not quite as big as the Krimmler waterfalls in Zillertal, but still very impressive. Idyllically many small waterfalls flow down between coniferous forests.

View of Schlegeis Reservoir

Highlight • Viewpoint

Climb difficult, but the view is worth it! You need good shoes with good grip, sneakers (which some Instagram photo-takers wear) don't really work.

The Olpererhütte at 2389 meters offers an excellent overnight accommodation for climbing higher peaks. There are sleeping spaces for 5 people each and you need to bring sleeping bags. The hut also offers beautiful panoramic views of the surrounding peaks and the reservoir, making it an ideal starting point for hikes and mountain tours. The restaurant is also recommended and offers a diverse selection at reasonable prices. After a strenuous day in the mountains, you can enjoy delicious meals here and experience the cosiness of the hut.

A beautiful hike. I wouldn't necessarily recommend taking a dog. It's a very rocky path, and not every dog's paws are made for it. And you're almost always walking in the sun on extremely hot days. The suspension bridge is worth seeing, but you have to wait in line for that "perfect" photo. Highly recommended.

Toll incl. parking) 19 EUR.
Attention: at normal times or peak times it can be very crowded.
The path is always safe and excellently marked.
But practically continuously it leads over stone slabs, steps, large stones and unevenness. Therefore, you should be sure-footed and plan that it is about twice as strenuous as normal.
Practically the whole tour is treeless …

...on the 5th day of the week, I finally headed back to the mountains. This time to the neighboring Alpine republic of Austria, specifically to the Zillertal Valley. The (!) destination was the Schlegeis Reservoir, but primarily the Olperer Hut and its suspension bridge. 😊

A very beautiful route!! You gain the most elevation right at the beginning, up to the Olperer Hut, 580 meters to be exact... But the view makes up for it :) A little tip for everyone: you don't have to go up there with the thickest hiking boots, but at least wear shoes with some tread... you won't even see …

The Schlegeis reservoir is built over a toll road. If you decide to come by car, parking is free.

On the direct ascent to the Olperer Hütte there is a note that it is 1.5 hours from here. It goes uphill all the way, but the path offers many wonderful views of the Schlegeis and the surrounding mountains.

Absolutely recommendable hike. Condition required, a few places secured with a rope, but also easy to do as a hiker with shingles. Great views everywhere! Would we do it again any time! In order to take a photo on the suspension bridge, avoid hiking up at the weekend and it is best to start early in the morning, then you …
