03 Southern Alpine Trail, E20: Naßfeld -Zollnersee Hütte

We leave the well-known ski resort of Naßfeld via the Madritschen in a westerly direction to the Rudnigsattel in front of the 2280 m high Trogkofel, which would take an additional two hours to climb. Unlike the last few days, we are travelling on alpine terrain throughout. A trench from the First World War accompanies us on the Rattendorfer Schneid and a little caution is required on the steep slopes of the Trogkofel, the Ringmauer and the Findenigkofel. The landscape around the Zollnersee is impressively beautiful!

Suggestion

A detour to the Roßkofel 2240 m is recommended. Allow approx. 2 hours extra walking time.

Equipment

Sturdy hiking boots, possibly hiking poles

Every rucksack should include: Rain, cold and sun protection, first aid kit, mobile phone (Euro emergency number 112), plenty of fluids, hiking map of the region.
