East Tirol – Eagle Walk Stage 1 Ströden – Johannis Hut © Virgentaler Hütten This is a trail where the journey is as interesting as the destination, with cascading waterfalls and glistening glaciers. Trailhead of East Tirol’s Eagle Walk Stage 1 is at Prägraten/Ströden, close to Umbal Waterfalls, where it begins its long and winding way up the mountain. As you leave the woods, keep an eye out for marmots which can often be seen here on a sunny day. Walking past Göriach Ochsner Hut, the route continues to Essener-Rostocker Hut that provides the perfect rest stop for hikers. Follow Schwerin Trail beneath Kleiner Geiger on your way to Türml Col. Trail markers will show you the way to Johannis Hut, the oldest mountain refuge of the Eastern Alps. The hut dates back to 1857 and was completely refurbished in 1999.

Großvenediger is the main peak of the Venediger Mountains. Several unsuccessful attempts were made in the early 19th century to reach its summit. However, it wasn‘t until September 1841, forty years after the first ascent of Großglockner, that a team of mountaineers scaled its summit. Mountaineering was gaining in popularity and drew many people to the Alps, which is why the first shelters and refuges were built in the early 20th Century. Local porters were hired for mountaineering expeditions, renowned in the international climbing and mountaineering community for their expertise and experience at high altitudes. In the years to follow the porters became guides, however, they were poorly paid and their working conditions were highly unsatisfactory and frequently unsafe. © Baumann-Schicht, Bad Reichenhall Eagle View Look forward to some of the most stunning views you’ll ever have in the realm of “ThreeThousanders”, high altitude peaks averaging 3,000 metres in elevation. From EssenerRostocker Hut gaze at ten glistening, ice-capped peaks. Johannis Hut affords vistas of majestic and impressive Großvenediger Mountain that will keep you mesmerized and captivated for long.

Having crossed the bridge, the trail begins to work its way up to Stoanalm (elev. 1,450m), running parallel to Maurerbach Creek. A dirt road runs to the base of the telpher line, from where a steep path under a canopy of ancient larch trees begins its long and winding way up the mountain. The 20+ switchbacks up to Göriach Ochsner Hut (elev. 1,948m) entail some 500 metres of climbing. The steep grade lessens and the trail continues, still close to the creek, working its way up to the peaks of Venediger Range, all topped in ice. Cross the bridge of roaring Maurerbach Creek at Upper Ochsner Hut. The mighty creek is the divide between Göriach Alpine Pasture and Maurer Alpine Pasture to the west. Another steep section brings you up to Essener-Rostocker Hut, encircled by the lateral moraines of Simony Glacier that has retreated significantly over the last few years. Essener-Rostocker Hut provides the perfect rest stop for hikers. From the hut, follow Schwerin Trail and continue up a couple switchbacks for an hour. The trail climbs the boulder-strewn east flank of Kleiner Geiger Mountain on its way towards the red rocks of Türml Peak, passing glacial boulders with striations left over from the last ice age and scree and talus slopes. 2,772-metre Türml Col is situated on foot of Türml Peak. Descend to the east over snowfields and rocks across the east flank of Dorferkamm for about 15 minutes. Then, swing northeast along the crags of Aderkamm and cross a few unbridged creeks. Eventually, cut down below the crags heading south to Dorferbach Creek, where glacial boulders with striations are to be found. Cross the creek by footbridge and wander across meadows, passing a memorial cross and Zettalunitzbach Creek to reach your destination end of this walk, ample Johannis Hut (elev. 2,121m). · www.tyrol.com/eagle-walk · Ströden – Johannis Hut 952_14 Adlerweg Etappen Factsheets-Etappe 1 .indd 2 Trailside Eateries & Accommodations 1 Stoanalm Alpine Pasture Hut 2 Essener- u.
