The path to the Albert-Heim Hut is wide and simply designed. It allows insights into the fascinating alpine mountain world.

The Albert-Heim Hut is located at 2542 m above sea level. 

From the mountain guesthouse Tiefenbach, the hiking path first goes up briefly, then runs flat into the alpine world. Only at the end is there a small ascent up to the Albert-Heim Hut.

On the way back, you can either walk the same path back or do a nice circular hike over the Schafberg. The path over the Schafberg is good but narrower than the main path leading to the hut.
