Rarely visited hummocky terrains with a distinctive charm
Between the two famous fashion peaks Aggenstein and Rote Flüh, a few mountain peaks and ridges that are seldom visited even in summer gather in a horseshoe shape. Who climbs a Seichenkopf or a Lumberger ridge? The two neighbors Sebenspitze and Sefenspitze, whose names sound confusingly similar, are the ones most likely to receive visitors. It is even lonelier up there above the icy valley basin of Lake Halden, however, when the rugged fellows have folded their white fur collars. Hibernation—in the truest sense of the word. Destinations for sensitive spirits who like to listen intently into the silence, now once again audible due to the vacuum of voices. Or are those the spirited thoughts crackling barely perceptibly?

Passing below the Seichenkopf we hike directly towards the elegantly shaped Aggenstein. Shortly before the district of Enge, we turn onto the path signposted towards the Bad-Kissinger hut, an almost always well-trodden forest road leading through a barely ascending valley cut.You stick to the access road until after the wide right curve at about 1340 meters altitude, where the narrow summer route crosses. There, you leave the road, paying attention to the sign «Sebenalpe», straight ahead into a narrow, moderately steep clearing. This shortcut soon crosses the known forest road again. The slope soon levels off. If no track has been laid yet, the secluded ascent to the hut requires a good sense of direction.We always keep to the barely ascending right side of the sharply cut valley, which may be avalanche-prone after heavy
