    Absolute mountain solitude is guaranteed on this route in the presence of Olperer. After a flat approach through the Kaserer Winkl, it goes over the Kleegrubenscharte to the stone lamb and back through the Wildlahnertal to Toldern.

    Author’s recommendation

    The namesake rock formation of the stone lamb is best recognized from the Wildlahnertal. This round trip is most beautiful in early summer when the greatest flower bloom can be admired.

    Safety information

    In early summer, avalanche remnants and old snowfields must be crossed repeatedly. On the way from the Kleegrubenscharte to the stone lamb there is a short exposed section that requires concentration. Otherwise, the mountain paths are not difficult.

    Tips and suggestions

    From Toldern back to the starting point by hitchhiking or with the postbus. You can also park a second car in Toldern in the morning, if available.

    Roadbook

    You start in the innermost Schmirntal in Kasern. Now you follow the forest road into the Kaserer Winkl, always with a view of the small Kaserer. It gently ascends until the valley end. The forest road soon ends here and you stay on a small path always heading towards the valley end until you reach the path crossing from the left coming from Kaserer Schartl. Here you turn right and follow this path (525) to the Kleegrubenscharte.

    From the Kleegrubenscharte, continue without significant inclines, following the signpost towards the Geraer Hütte. Always keeping Olperer and Fußstein on the left in view, we cross the slope, repeatedly crossing glacier streams towards a distinctive ridge, the stone lamb. From Kasern to here about 3.5 hours walking time.

    The descent through the Wilkdlahnertal is marked with signposts from the stone lamb. Do not descend immediately at the ridge (the markings are crossed out) but follow the ridge, briefly secured with a rope, before descending right in countless switchbacks into the Wildlahnertal. From there, follow the forest road downstream towards Toldern.
