The Drei Turme above the Lindauer Hut

After crossing another alpine meadow with a solitary barn in it, the track twists up through forest (unmarked footpath shortcuts), and above this you rise through more pastures to a T junction of tracks. Bear left. As the track returns to forest more footpath shortcuts can be taken. One of these makes a long, steady uphill slant, and on rejoining the track, the hut can be seen ahead. Walk up the track, bear left when it forks, and shortly after, arrive at the Lindauer Hut. Note the alpine garden located on its western side.

The Category I Lindauer Hut has 60 beds and 140 dormitory places. Staffed from the end of February to the end of March, and from June to mid-October, it is owned by the Lindau section of the DAV (tel 0664 5033456 www.alpenverein-lindau.de).

For an alternative return to Latschau, try the left-bank path and track by way of Gauen. Although steep in places in the early stages, the way eases lower down and makes a very pleasant walk in its own right.
