A good path keeps to the left of the Klostertaler Bach, and about 45mins after entering the valley, you come to a sign stating that the unmanned Klostertaler Hut is just 20mins ahead. Fork right here on a narrow trail which soon crosses two branches of the stream on what was found to be a somewhat dubious footbridge during research.

The trail now weaves alongside the stream, then climbs a steep grass slope in the little side valley known as the Verhupftäli. Where there are brief rock slabs to mount, fixed ropes provide aid, and once you’ve climbed above these the way continues up to a plateau at about 2500m. This leads to the upper basin which is topped by the ridge connecting the Gross Litzner to the Sattelkopf and Verhupfspitz.

A line of small cairns and waymarks direct the path up a steep ramp of rocks to a prominent cairn. Bear left (west) along the ridge, descend to a saddle and pass along the left-hand side of a small lake, then curve north to reach the Litzner Sattel (about 3½hrs from the Wiesbadener Hut).
