    Great, demanding mountain route to the summit of the Wolfebnerspitze, the local mountain of the Hermann-von-Barth-Hütte.

    Behind the Hermann-von-Barth-Hütte rise the impressive rock faces of the Wolfebnerspitze. The summit cross is already visible from the hut. Besides about 40 climbing routes, there is also an exciting "normal route" to the airy summit. Absolute sure-footedness and a head for heights are necessary prerequisites for the ascent.

    Author’s recommendation

    Those who do not want to descend the same way to the valley from the Hermann-von-Barth-Hütte can go through the Balschtekar to the summit of the Rote Wand and descend to the valley from there. See route: Over the H.v.Barth-Hütte to the Rote Wand (2262 m)

    Safety information

    At the last crossing (two exposed slabs) it is advisable to secure yourself with a rope. Some pitons are available.

    Roadbook

    We start from the Geierwally parking lot in Elbigenalp. On the road past the Geierwally open-air stage we reach the "Kasermandlsteig", which branches off to the left. Following the path through the forest, we reach the Kasermandl. We leave the managed hut on the right and follow the forest road for a while until we reach the valley station of the material cable car of the Hermann-von-Barth-Hütte. We leave the forest road, follow the signs "Hermann-von-Barth-Hütte" and "Rote Wand" and reach the end of the forest road (called Bärenbad) via a trail. From here the path to the Rote Wand leads right, we keep left towards the Hermann-von-Barth-Hütte. Via the good access path, it goes up to the alpine club hut.

    Past the hut, we follow the hiking trail towards the rock faces of the Wolfebnerspitze. To the right of the rock faces, a marked trail leads up to the small saddle. From here the path becomes significantly more demanding. On the east side, there is a rock step that must be climbed. Further on, it goes on an exposed crossing. Anyone carrying a rope should use it here. These two slab bands form the key point of the route. Once overcome, continue following the markings upwards until you reach the summit chimney. Just below the summit, there is another chimney to climb through.

    The descent follows the same route.

    Hallo, Dabei dürfte es sich meiner Meinung nach um die Ilfenstpitze handeln. Werde demnächst wieder auf der Wolfebnerspitze sein und das dann mit deinem Foto vergleichen. LG
