    From Lech via Oberlech up to Mohnensattel and Lake Butzensee. Continue along a picturesque high trail to the well-earned hut Göppinger.

    From Lech or Oberlech the hiking trail leads to Kriegeralpe and then on to Mohnensattel. Here you can decide whether you want to master the summit of the Mohnenfluh or continue downhill to the cool Butzensee. After a short break at Butzensee you come to a turnoff where you can decide whether you want to hike to Schröcken or to hut Göppinger. To the hut Göppinger the stony and bumpy way leads further uphill up to the Butzensattel. The view is breathtaking! The rocky path continues, partly downhill. The left side of the path is sloping. After about two hours you reach the hut Göppinger. Here you can take a break or spend the night.

    A rest at the Butzensee lake makes you forget all the climbing strains.A stop at the Göppinger Hütte is a culinary experience.
