Gaudeamus Hut
The Gaudeamus Hut (german: Gaudeamushütte) is an Alpine club hut in the Kaisergebirge mountains in Tyrol. It is run by the Main-Spessart section of the German Alpine Club. Reynolds, Kev (2009). ''Walking in Austria'', 1st ed., Cicerone, Milnthorpe, p. 265, . Location The hut is located on the southern side of the Wilder Kaiser at a height of where it stands at the foot of the Törlspitzen peaks on an Alpine pasture. From its sun terrace the view extends from the Ellmauer Tor, over to the Karlspitzen peaks and on to the Ellmauer Halt, the highest mountain in the Kaisergebirge range. Several paths and mountain trails branch off near the Gaudeamus Hut and its central location is the main reason for the popularity of this base both with day trippers and with hillwalkers and climbers. By using the toll road, the hut is quickly reached and acts as a starting point for numerous summit ascents and crossings to other places in the Wilder Kaiser. It is fully staffed from mid-May to mid-O ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lofer
Lofer is a market town in the district of Zell am See in the Austrian state of Salzburg.

In the west, the road leads to the municipality of Waidring in Tyrol, while in the north the ''Kleines Deutsches Eck'' highway connection, part of the European route E641, runs along the Saalach river to the southwestern outskirts of Salzburg via neighbouring Unken and over the border with Germany.

Maukspitze
The Maukspitze is a mountain peak in the Kaisergebirge range of the Northern Limestone Alps. It is 2,231 meters above the Adriatic, making it the ninth tallest peak in the Kaisergebirge. Location The Maukspitze is the easternmost independent summit of the Kaisergebirge mountains. To the east is the crest of the Niederkaiser, to the west the Maukspitze borders on the Ackerlspitze. To the south, the Maukspitze falls steeply and abruptly (''Niedersessel'', ''Hochsessel''), in places with vertical rock faces, into the Leukental towards St. Johann in Tirol. To the north the Maukspitze drops equally sharply into the Kaiserbach valley. Routes The Maukspitze is a popular viewing point due to its exposed situation, but is not easy to reach from any side. The simplest climb runs from the Wochenbrunneralm in the south via Niedersessel and Südostgrat (I). The Maukspitze is also accessible via a marked but exposed path from the Ackerlspitze. Both of these climbs start from the Ackerl Hut ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ackerlspitze
At 2,329 metres above sea level, the Ackerlspitze is the second highest peak in the Kaisergebirge range in the east of the Austrian state of Tyrol.

Goinger Halt
The Goinger Halt is a mountain in the Kaisergebirge range in the Northern Limestone Alps in Austria. It has a double summit: a northern top to the rear, the ''Hintere Goinger Halt'' (2,192 metres), and a higher, southern top in front, the ''Vordere Goinger Halt'' (2,242 metres). The name "Halt" means something like Alpine meadow and refers therefore to the peak over the meadow areas, that belong to the parish of Going (c.f. Ellmauer Halt). Location The Goinger Halt climbs immediately east of the Ellmauer Tor from the cirque of the Steinerne Rinne and so lies in the central part of the Kaisergebirge. Opposite it to the west are the peaks of the Karlspitzen and the Fleischbank. To the north the Halt is preceded by the Predigtstuhl. The main crest of the mountain ridge runs away to the southwest, finally culminating in the Ackerlspitze and, to the northwest, steep rock faces plunge into the Griesner Cirque.

Kleines Törl
The Kleines Törl ("little gate") is a wind gap at an altitude of in the eastern part of the Kaisergebirge mountain range in the Austrian federal state of Tyrol. Viewed from the village of Going to the south, it can be clearly distinguished as a notch in the prominent main crest of the Wilder Kaiser. A signposted and heavily frequented climbing trail runs from the Fritz Pflaum Hut into the Griesner Cirque (''Griesner Kar'') to the north, through the Kleines Törl on the southern side, where the path is known as the ''Gildensteig'', and on down to the Gaudeamus Hut or Ackerl Hut. This route is, however, largely exposed and requires sure-footedness, no fear of heights, and Alpine experience. Several minutes south of the Törl a second, signposted, but not secured, path through the rocks branches off to the high Regalmspitze, which is classed at UIAA climbing grade In rock climbing, mountaineering, and other climbing disciplines, climbers give a grade to a climbing route or b ...

Steinerne Rinne (Kaisergebirge)
The Predigtstuhl is a high mountain in the Wilder Kaiser range in the Northern Limestone Alps in Austria, east of Kufstein in the Tyrol. The mountain is one of the well-known climbing mountains in the Northern Limestone Alps. Among its most famous climbing routes are the Angermann Gully (''Angermannrinne'') (normal route at UIAA grade III via the Predigtstuhl wind gap), the striking North Rim (''Nordkante'') and the Botzong Chimney (''Botzong-Kamin''). The start point for these routes is the Stripsenjochhaus mountain hut belonging to the Austrian Alpine Club (ÖAV). Together with the Hinterer Goinger Halt, Karlspitzen, Fleischbank and Christaturm the peak forms the rim of the Steinerne Rinne, a huge couloir and old glacial cirque, that runs southwards up to the crossing of the Ellmauer Tor The Ellmauer Tor is a 2,000-metre high rock saddle in the middle of the Kaisergebirge in the Austrian state of Tyrol. It is the deepest saddle on the main ridge of the Wilder Kaiser betwe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Stripsenjochhaus
The Stripsenjochhaus is an Alpine club hut owned by the Kufstein branch of the Austrian Alpine Club in the Kaisergebirge mountain range in the Austrian state of Tyrol. Location The house lies on the Stripsenjoch which forms a bridge between the ridges of the Zahmer Kaiser and Wilder Kaiser at the head of the Kaiserbachtal and Kaisertal valleys at a height of 1,577 m. Reynolds, Kev (2009). ''Walking in Austria'', 1st ed., Cicerone, Milnthorpe, p. 266. .
