The very beautiful trail led from the Kaltenberg Hut down towards Stuben, or in the other direction to the Kaltenberg Hut. It is narrow, rocky, and partly exposed. On the downhill side, it offers a magnificent view of the valley and the surrounding mountains.

There are a lot of marmots here. You can find caves everywhere. The marmots are relatively trusting and easy to observe.
