Lausitzer high alpine route

It was built in 1903 and leads wanderers through the marvellous mountain-world of the most Northern Tauferer Ahrntal Valley at the feet of the mighty glaciers Mt. Dreiherrenspitze, Mt. Rötspitze and Mt. Löffler.

The walking distance is about 6 hours, so the Lausitzer High Alpine Route can be considered as medium difficult. So, if you have good condition you surely will enjoy the tour and the amazing panoramas.
