1A Little Ödstein from Johnsbach

From Johnsbach (Gh. Kölbl) on a marked path in the direction of Hesshütte. To
about 40 minutes branching off at the lower cod floor at a height of 1235m
(GPS 1) the likewise marked path descends to the Hochtor (snow hole path).
Follow this path until you reach a crossroads (GPS 2), where the marked path
on the high gate to the right. Straight up, a rocky escarpment
(red inscription "FK" and commemorative plaque "Franz Lanner"). The steep step on the right
immediately one gets to the mountain pines. At the first possibility (GPS 3) above the
Steep step one follows an inconspicuous little climb to the left into a large depression
(1451m). Over meadow slopes to the Gamssteinsattel (1566m). Descending,
Crossing scree fields, one reaches the rubble fields that lead to the entrances of

Descent: The best way is to abseil via the route "Waidhofnerweg"!
The "Blue Marking" (see map) is very difficult due to the steepness and the often
rock seriously and requires great surefootedness! The likewise demanding
Kirchengrat is less dangerous but very long!
If the descent takes place over the Kirchengrat, no equipment may be used on
entrance can be deposited (other direction of descent)!
