Beautiful hike from Reichental via Öhler, Schober, Maumauwiese to the Edelweisshütte. Mostly narrow paths, sometimes a bit steeper. Along the way is the small, rustic Gauermannshütte, the Öhler Schutzhaus and the Edelweisshütte. Suitable for children, especially the route from the Öhler Schutzhaus in the opposite direction to the Gauermannshütte. The path from the Öhler Schutzhaus to the Maumauwiese is a bit more difficult, partly narrow and secured with nets.
