From the car park near Gasthof Waldesruh you first walk to Hinterenns, an abandoned, beautiful valley basin, surrounded by the repelling walls of Tribulaun and Schwarzer Wand. From Hinterenns, a narrow path on the south side leads up to the Inner Wildgrubenalm, lonely situated on a small high plateau. Here you can also reach the Panorama Trail coming from the Nösslachjoch, which climbs slightly uphill along the ridge to the Gstreinjöchl, always in view of the high walls of the Tribulaun massif. At the end of the tour you are rewarded with a great view over the Obernberg and rear Gschnitztal valleys, and the striking peaks of Eisenspitze, Gschnitzer and Pflerscher Tribulaun are also visible. Those who still think they are strong enough can also consider a descent to the Tribulaun hut on the other side of the valley, which is a good 500 m lower - a general crossing of the Gstreinjöchl to Gschnitz is also a worthwhile alternative.
DIRECTIONS From the parking lot next to the GH Waldesruh, an asphalt road leads westwards at the beginning, passing the last farms and dwellings of the valley. Shortly behind, at the end of the road, the paths are divided up. Here you have to take the left meadow path with the number 127, which continues to wind along the valley floor. After a few hundred metres, behind a muddy ditch, the beautifully designed Hubertus Chapel is hidden on the right side of the mountain. A short visit is worthwhile in any case, then we continue through slightly rising terrain along a nice wide path to Hinterenns. Finally one reaches a small alpine pasture and a signpost that tries to announce the branching of the paths. The right path with the same number 127 is the right one, follow it. Now go up in serpentines for a good 500 hm along the right side of the mountain until you reach the panorama path coming from the Nösslachjoch. Here, both paths merge and lead together slightly uphill in a southerly direction up to the Gstreinjöchl.
TIP OF THE AUTHOR The area around the Gstreinjöchl is often visited by ibex. With a bit of luck, you can marvel at the skilful climbers with their heavy horns.
