The path to the Albert-Heim-Hut is wide and easy. It offers insights into the fascinating alpine mountain world. Maybe we will see ptarmigans or find a crystal!

From the Berggasthaus Tiefenbach, we first climb briefly, then the path runs flat into the alpine world. Only at the end do we reach a small ascent up to the Albert-Heim-Hut.

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