Second Stage<br />
From the Plose mountain hut to the Schlüter mountain<br />
hut<br />
Altitude difference: 500 m ascendent; 650 m descendent<br />
Lenght of the path: approx. 15 Km<br />
Hiking time: 5 hours<br />
Path: 4<br />
Grade:<br />
E, with short but secured part<br />
From the Plose mountain hut, with its wonderful panorama,<br />
choose the path leading eastwards (markings 3-4-6-7) that offers a<br />
beautiful view on the Peitlerkofel and the Aferer Geisler. On the crest,<br />
continue along the path towards the southeast and follow marking<br />
No. 4 (paths Nos. 3,6 and 7 lead along the same route here) which,<br />
after crossing a ski slope, leads to the Lüsner Scharte, (col at 2,371m)<br />
and meets the path leading to the Pfannspitz mountain hut.<br />
After a short descent, you come to path No. 6 at an altitude of<br />
2,310m that leads to the Parkhotel Plose (1,900m) on the old route of<br />
the “Alta Via” n. 2. At the junction, choose path No. 4 and continue<br />
towards the east, despite the fact that the path is poorly marked.<br />
Finally, head south through some alpine pastures and a Norway<br />
spruce forest where some sections of the route are secured, making it<br />
easy to overcome this potential hurdle with the minimum of fuss.<br />
At the same altitude as the Kerer Kreuzl, around 2,000m, you meet<br />
the road, which leads to the Kreuz valley, the Schatzen mountain hut,<br />
the Parkhotel Plose and the Ski chalet (see alternative route 1).<br />
Follow the road for around 1 km towards the east and then turn<br />
right near the Enzian hut at 1,963m (southeast) and continue along<br />
path No. 4. After a rather steep section through the forest, follow<br />
the almost flat meadows, which bring you along the path leading to<br />
Kofeljoch (Halsl) 1,878m after 2 hours walking from either the Plose<br />
mountain hut or from the Kreuz valley (see alternative route 1).<br />
