    This is a difficult hike that should only be attempted by advanced and experienced hikers. The decisive factor here is the ascent and descent passages, some of which have to be climbed.

    Author’s recommendation

    Due to the steep grassy slopes, do not climb when it is wet!

    From the Hölzlerhütte car park, walk westwards on a cart path to a junction. Here you march southwards over bushes and alpine pastures to the Funklscharte at 2,260m; Now you hike or partly climb to the right over the south-east ridge to a pre-summit and further to the left to the nearby Rettlkirchspitze.

    The descent takes place on the route already known from the way there.

    Equipment

    • Good footwear (sturdy high shoes with non-slip soles), rain, cold and sun protection, sufficient drinks, hiking map, emergency equipment (first aid kit, blister plasters, etc.).
    • Packing your backpack correctly makes a lot of things easier: pack heavy things first. The water bottle should be stored within easy reach in a side pocket. Items that are often needed such as sunglasses, camera, hiking map, etc. belong on top.
