Bösenstein und Scheibelsee

From the Edelraute hut, the well-marked trail leads through a pine forest past the large Scheibelsee lake. The trail continues in switchbacks through a steep scree gully to the eastern ridge of the Großer Bösenstein. This is ascended via a small, easily recognizable path that leads over boulders and scree. From the Großer Bösenstein the path leads in a southwesterly direction to a saddle and from there ascends to the Kleiner Bösenstein (2395 m), continuing along the ridge to the Großer Hengst (2159 m), from where the descent to the Edelrautehütte takes place in steep hairpin bends.

No less beautiful but less strenuous is a circumnavigation of the Großer Scheibelsee. On warm summer days, some even dare to take a refreshing dip.
