Knoten

Base for the hike to Knoten (2,214 m) is the Hochtristenhaus (1,697 m). The route starts with a leisurely “warm-up” walk to the Weinberger Alm. The sign “B32 – Weinberger Alm” shows the way to the hiker. First across a picturesque alpine pasture, then through a short forest section, you reach the neighboring alpine pasture. Here begins the actual ascent via a trail up to Knoten (signpost). Quickly you reach treeless terrain and walk upward over the gentle alpine meadows to the “Kreuzbründl”. Alpenrose covers the ground here, especially during the blooming period (mostly in July) this plant colors the mountain slopes deep pink. Through this sea of blossoms you continue upward, following the signpost “Knoten” into the mountain’s southwestern slopes. Arriving at the western shoulder at about 2,150 m, you hike over this towards the east to the summit.  

Descent: Now steeply descend over the eastern ridge to the wide Ochsentörl. Here follow the signposts “Hochtristenhaus” and reach the Oberberger Alm with the Hochtristenhaus in about 1.5 hours walking time (from the summit).
