Ederplan and Anna-Schutzhaus

From the parking lot (1,450 m) at or just before the Zwischenberger Sattel, a well-marked forest path leads to the Anna-Schutzhaus. The path is initially quite steep, eroded, and features rhythm-breaking steps. A first glimpse of the sensational view at the shelter or at the summit of the Ederplan is offered after 150 meters of elevation gain in the area of the open alpine meadow of the Ederalm. Here, the view opens across the Drautal toward the Lienzer Dolomites and the Lienz valley basin. Shortly after, the path runs north along a beautiful cross fence, offering views into the Mölltal and towards Heiligenblut and Sonnblick. Further up, on the ridge, open areas with some alpine huts are reached, where there is a clear view of the East Tyrolean "capital" Lienz. Shortly afterwards, you reach the Anna-Schutzhaus, which belongs to the ÖTK Dölsach. From the shelter there is an unmarked direct ascent in a straight line to the Ederplan, or more recommended and environmentally friendly is the marked hiking trail to the left of the hut, winding up to the nearby summit of the Ederplan, where the mighty Heimkehrerkreuz, over 10 meters high, stands.
