Steep Tussock and Scree Slopes

On the other side of the valley, a perfectly
defined singletrack trail begins a gradual
ascent through a grove before ascending
more steeply across meadows. Thereafter,
you get to Langkar cirque. On the right side
of the cirque (in late summer next to the
snowfield), a well-defined singletrack trail
(with hardly any rubble) gradually ascends.
Later, the trail steepens and bears left.
Finally, climb up across a kind of chimney
with fixed cables up to Grießlscharte notch.
This section running on earthy soil is quite
steep and can be slippery in wet conditions.
A short descent is followed by a short and
steep counter-ascent up and over to
Winterjoch saddle (just below Winterjoch
saddle, Augsburger Höhenweg Trail branches
off). From Winterjoch saddle, the trail
descends for a short distance over scree
slopes, passes behind stierkopf Mountain,
and resumes its climb up to Kopfscharte
notch across rugged terrain. From the notch,
the path traverses tussock slopes and finally
heads southwards to Ansbacher Hut with
easy ups and downs.
