Directions
From the village center of Welsberg, follow the right bank of the Gsieser Bach upstream into the valley. Continue along the old Gsiesertal road to the hamlet of Oberplanken, where the stream is crossed and the route continues on the left side of the valley as far as St. Martin. From St. Martin onwards, the tour becomes quite demanding and climbs uphill to the Talschlusshütte at 1465 meters. The return is via the same route.
