    Der Rundweg ist landschaftlich sehr schön und abwechslungsreich. Der Aufstieg durch das Schotterfeld hoch zur Hütte und weiter zum Gipfelkreuz des Schafsbergs ist nicht ohne. Der Weg ist zwar klar markiert, man macht hier aber ordentlich Höhenmeter und es geht halt durch ein nicht befestigtes Schotterfeld eines kleinen Gletschers. In diesem Bereich ist die Wanderung meiner Meinung nach „mittelschwer“. Dafür wird man auch im Sommer mit einem großartigen Blick auf das Eisfeld belohnt. Die Hütte ist renoviert, man bekommt Getränke, Kuchen und warme Snacks dort.
