Griesner Alm - Fritz Pflaum Hütte - Große Griesner Kar

At Griesner Alm in Kaiserbachtal head left across a brook and follow the wide path
towards Latschenbrennerei pine oil distillery. Just before the distillery, a narrow trail
branches off to the right and into the forest. The trail climbs steeply, gaining altitude as
it traces its way past the rock towers of Lärchegg and Mitterkaiser to Kleines Griesner
Kar cirque. From the cirque it is an easy hike to Fritz-Pflaum-Hütte (not serviced),
a gorgeous old stone hut set in the middle of a rugged alpine landscape. The hut was
built in memory of Fritz Pflaum, a prominent alpinist who loved the Wilder Kaiser
mountains. The trail then zizags up between two precipitous peaks - Mitterkaiser and
Predigtstuhl - to Grosses Griesner Kar cirque.
