Roter Knopf

From the parking lot, take the steep forestry road (trail 915) uphill. After an impressive view of the waterfall, continue steeply uphill on the forestry road to the Bruchetalm, then along the gorge through the “Lachtal” to the “Outer Eben”. At the junction to the Wirtsbaueralm take the lower path further into the valley. Of course, you can also take the 10-minute detour to the Wirtsbaueralm for a small refreshment.
At the pasture “Inner Eben” the forestry road ends, and some attention is needed to recognize the main path that leads valley inward through wooded terrain. At the Ochsner Hut the view into the valley already opens somewhat, revealing the full extent and splendor at the Hinterm-Holz Alm.
From there it will take about an hour to reach the Elberfelder Hut.

From the hut follow the path valley inward heading south to the Roter Knopf junction. Here turn right westward onto the wide southeast ridge, climb over the moraine and then above a small cirque lake up the ridge that becomes steeper and more distinctive upwards. Partly through boulder terrain reach the summit.

Descent possible the same way as ascent. However, we recommend the “Langtalseen” variant - three enchanting lakes, with lush cotton grass on the shores and uniquely located in secluded cirques of the Schober group.
