The Tour
GRIES PARKING LOT -> Winnebach -> Path to Winnebachsee Hut -> WINNEBACHSEE HUT
From the parking lot at the end of Gries, follow the road to Winnebach to take the path towards Winnebachsee Hut. Soon the path leads out of the forest past numerous avalanche tracks. The well-laid path steeply ascends at the end; on the right, the Winnebach plunges down the "Bachfalle". Upon arrival at the hut, it is recommended to enjoy a wonderful rest by the lake, which is located directly behind the hut.
