Roadbook
This varied stage begins at the Kaunergrat hut. The picturesque morning mood partially compensates for the fact that we cannot take the actual route.
Because in wet or bad weather, you should not take the Cottbusser Höhenweg to the Riffelsee hut.
We descend directly into the Pitztal, follow it to Mittelberg, and then climb from there over the Gletscherstübele to the Braunschweiger hut. Incredible glacier views await us here.
