Tour description:

Alpine circular trail Refreshment options: Zellersee campsite (snack bar); Raitner Wirt Achental hiking badge Checkpoints: Raitner Wirt; Hainzenalm; Filzenblick (short detour) Special features: Kaiserblick lookout point on the Hainzenalm; swimming at the free Zellersee lido Description: From the hikers' car park in Hinter-Raiten, take the forest road towards Weitwiesalm. From the first alpine hut (Huberalm), cross the alpine meadows to the Hainzenalm. From here, downhill towards Mettenham, after about 400m, take a detour to the left to the Kaiserblick with a beautiful view of Schleching and the Wilder Kaiser. Back on the forest path, continue downhill until you see Mettenham coming out of the forest. From here, turn left past the climbing rocks of the Zellerwand towards Zellersee. You can cool off in the bathing lake, have a cold drink, an ice cream or a small snack at the camp warden's. The way home goes back through the campsite and then right onto the forest path towards Raiten. A detour to the Filzenblick just above the campsite (approx. 100 m above sea level - 30 minutes there and back) gives a view of the "Mettenhamer Filz" raised moor area. On the cycle and footpath towards Raiten, a footpath branches off to the left (Raiten footpath) through a historic sunken road used by the Celts, which quickly leads to the starting point. If you follow the cycle and footpath instead, you will come directly to the Raitner Wirt and from there back to the starting point.
