Kröndlhorn
and Kröndlberg are a twin peak in the middle of Kitzbüheler Alpen.
2,444 m, the Kröndlhorn is the highest mountain in the Brixental region.
Kröndlhorn and Kröndlberg are the culmination points of the north –
south – running ridge, which divides Kelchsau Valley and Kurzer Grund to
the west from Windau valley to the east. The other summits in the
neighbouring area are minor ones, thus allowing the rocky outcrop of
Kröndhorn/Kröndlberg to dominate the surrounding.
Our starting point is at the end of WIndautal almost. The Windautal is a southern side valley of the Brixental and belongs to
the Westendorf area in Tyrol. Over a length of around 16 kilometers, one alpine
pasture follows the next. The tour to the Kröndlhörn starts at the very
end of the valley basin. The "Foisching" or "Krumbach" car parks can be used as starting points.
Access is possible by car. Entry into the Windautal is only possible
with a small local toll (approx. € 3.00). On the way to the starting
point, you are constantly accompanied by the wild and romantic Windauer
Ache - the small stream that runs through the side valley. Again and
again you will see smaller and larger waterfalls cascading down.
The
first section of the path takes
you mainly through woodland with many small waterways and streams
rushing around. In the woods you
will repeatedly come across openings from which you can catch beautiful
views of the entire Windautal. Here we might spot deer, stags, birds of
prey or other wild animals.
The Windautal is considered to be an extremely species-rich and densely
populated wilderness area. We keep hiking till at 2194m
sea level we reach the beautiful black Reinkarsee, which is around 1.5
hectares in extension. The landscape is particularly beautiful here.
The water is mostly very cold, since rarely exceeds 7°C. At
this point you are only around 500 m from the Salzburg border!
The
path
to the summit is not too far from Reinkarsee. From now on, you can
expect a more technical section (T3), some of which is secured with a
rope as a railing. Once you reach the top, contrary to
what you might expect, the summit is not adorned with a summit cross,
but rather a small memorial chapel. A true story about the chapel. Many
years ago, the farmer from
Kummer lived with his wife in Westendorf. The two tried several times to
start a family and have children. But fate brought them several
stillbirths one after the other. When it finally worked, the farmer's
wife gave birth to a living child. The child was so seriously ill that
the doctors did not think he had much of a chance of survival. In
desperation, the farmer from Kummer prayed to God and made a pact with
him: if the child survived and recovered, he would build a memorial
chapel in the highest place in the town out of gratitude. And so it
happened. We will take our time to enjoy the open views to Willder
Kaiser, Berchtesgadenerland and up to seventy 3000s peaks!
We
then come down for a short section along the same path till Reinkarsee,
then we take the path till Rotwandalm.
It is almost perfectly located at the end of the Windautal valley basin
at an altitude of 1,597 m. The view from the managed alpine pasture
stretches from the two sides of the valley to the Inn Valley. A place to
rest and relax in summertime especially! We keep going till we reach
our cars and we stop for drinks and food at Gamskogelhütte for a well
deserved stop!
I am not a professional guide, hiking can be risky. Everybody is responsible for him/herself and must familiarize with the route and its requirements.
