Route description:
From the Mooserboden make your way along the eastern side of the reservoir. The same path up to the Riffltor and, instead of turning left, continue along the path until the Karlingerbach river crosses it. From here, the path continues up to the Kapruner Törl. Now make your way from the Törl descending again to beneath the Unteren Rifflkeeses and further on to the Hinteren Ochsen-flecke. Fromhere, cross over the river and continue along the path towards the east. The Rudolfshütte is reached by crossing over stone steps.

Tips

für Tagestouristen am Mooserboden empfiehlt es sich bis zum Ende des Stausee´s zu wandern und dann wieder den selben Weg zurück.  Am Ende des Stausee´s befinden sich wunderschöne Wasserfälle!

Recommended equipment

it is a black mountain trail: every participant has to be sure of step and needs a good head for heights. Adequate mountain expertise is necessary here! Sturdy walking shoes, protection against rain and sund and take your water bottle with you!
