Walk up, toboggan down – Bergkristall hut in Au From Au (800 m), a perfectly prepared path takes you along the northern edge of the Lug, mainly through a forest, up into the Dürrenbachtal to the idyllically located Boden mountain pasture. This is also the location of the Bergkristall hut located at an altitude of over 1,200 m. This tranquil, beautiful mountain valley is surrounded by the impressive, steeply rising rock massifs of the Zitterklapfenstock (2,403 m). You descend the same way. When the conditions are right, it is a good idea to take along a sledge for the descent into the valley.
