The area around the “Weisse Wand” is an eldorado for botanists, or anyone who admires flowers. Thanks to the influence of lime in the region you can find Steinröschen, Edelweiss and many other species here. The plants on the south of the “Durreck Group” are of particular interest and value, with the soft Matreier shale allowing vegetation to shin to the peaks. At the crest of the “Ochsenlenke” the breathtaking views of the “Zillertaler Hauptkamm” mountains, Europe’s primary rocks, open up. In the centre of the eighty 3,000 m+ peaks nestles the Ahrntal Valley which has retained much of its native qualities.
From the car park Knutten (1,682m) cross over the forest road 9 to the “Knuttenalm” hut at 1,911 m, when the path branches, take the path 1 b into the direction for “Brunner Hutte” cabin (2,280 m) and “Ochsenlenke” (2,585 m). The descent returns passing the “Knuttental” valley again to the starting point.
