The descent proceeds past the crystal-clear Schmalzgrubensee to Edmund Graf Hütte (overnight stay options available here when you reserve a place in advance. Please note the opening hours!). From here the steep ascent to the Hoher Riffler begins, which, at 3.168 m, is the highest mountain in the Verwall group. Return section: from Edmund Graf Hütte follow the signpost for Kapplerjoch.
