At the Kastenjoch (1875m), where a trail on the left runs northwest back to Schrecksee, the track connects with the route from Landsberger Hut described in Walk 13. This section of Walk 13 is now done in reverse, skirting the western flanks of the Steinkarspitze and passing below the Rote Spitze before reaching the hut (5hr from Prinz-Luitpold-Haus, 7½–8hr from Giebel Haus).

The next day, descend along path 425 via Traualpsee to the northern end of Vilsalpsee (1½hr). Here it is possible to catch a bus to Tannheim, or you can walk down in 1hr. As an alternative, follow the route described in Walk 13 to the Neunerköpfle and the gondola-lift in reverse (2hr).

The tiny settlement of Gerstruben was founded centuries ago by Valaisian migrants from Switzerland. Its picturesque farmhouses are reminiscent of those that can still be found in the Valais to this day. The small church with the Höfats in the background is a popular photo motif. Light refreshments and meals are available at Gasthof Gerstruben.
