Description

From the Glorerhütte, stage 5 leads along the Eselsteig trail to the Peischlachtörl (2,484 m). The high-altitude hike continues on the eastern side of the Kalsertal valley via the Tschadinalm (only a shelter hut) along trail no. 67 to Lesach Riegel, offering magnificent views of the Kalsertal valley. Once you arrive at Lesach Riegel, you can take a break at the rest area. From there, you can enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of the Schober Group with Glödis, the so-called Matterhorn of East Tyrol, Ganot, and Hochschober to the east, and the Großglockner massif to the north.
Passing the Lesach Riegelhütte (unmanned), the trail now descends via hiking trails no. 61 and 61a to the Rubisoierhof. Continue to Oberlesach and from there change direction to the north via the last section of the trail, the valley circular trail with trail no. 60b towards Glor, with the suspension bridge forming the crowning finale. The trail now leads via Glor in the center of Kals, Ködnitz, to the Kals Tourist Information Office, where you will receive the 5 Jewels to the Glockner Crown and a Glockner Crown certificate.
