Overview
Technical Summary
The Ravensburger Hütte (1,948m) is a high-altitude sanctuary in the Lechquellen Mountains. Starting from the turquoise Spullersee—a high-alpine reservoir—the trail offers a relatively gentle approach to a classic Austrian Alpine Club (DAV/AV) hut.
The Glow of the Rote Wand. The 'X-Factor' is the proximity to the Rote Wand. Many hikers only see it from the village of Zug, but from the Ravensburger Hütte, the scale of this 2,704m limestone face is clearly visible. The Spuller Schafberg reflecting in the lake at the start of the walk adds a layer of high-alpine beauty.
Hazard Assessment
