Places where you can eat and drink:
Kaiser Franz Josefs Höhe
Route:
1. at Kaiser Franz Josefs Höhe - go to the very far end of the structure
2. walk into the tunnel marked as 'Gamsgrubenweg'
3. walk throught 6 tunnels (built because of the high risk of falling rock)
4. walk on the trail until the end of Gamsgrubenweg - there is a rest area and a beutiful creek-waterfall
5. you can continue walking up towards Oberwalderhütte and the glacier next to it, however the trail becomes steeper here, and if you want to reach the Hut, you must walk on the glacier as well.
Take the same route back.
We turned back around halfway between end of Gamsgrubenweeg and the glacier.
Do not leave the marked trail, and please, do not pick the flowers!!!
