Alpine Tour to the Seelenkogel Mountain

Just after entering the village from the Plan/Pfelders car park, turn right and head down to the Edelweiss Inn. Turn left over the bridge, and then bear right in a north-westerly direction before crossing through a sparse larch forest. Follow the path uphill until you reach another bridge and continue along a well-worn path leading up to a rocky ledge. Bear left and follow the trail leading into the valley, and across a stream. Trail 6A leads south-westwards up the slope and then northwest to the Schneidalm mountain hut.

Follow the trail southwest up to the Obere Schneide. After a flat section, head northwest and across numerous hairpin bends over a steep ridge. At the top, continue along the flat terrain over a stony rise to the right, before ascending. Cross a snow field and then follow the well-defined path that leads across the exposed rockface, and up to the Zwickauer Hütte mountain hut, which is visible from a distance.

Trail 6A takes you from the Zwickauer Hütte down to the Schneidalm. From there cross over the meadows back down to Plan.
