The Kristeinertal is a side valley of the Val Pusteria and stretches into the Villgraten Mountains near Mittenwald an der Drau. Our hike starts north of Vergein, at the bend of the Val Pusteria mountain road, the gravel road to the alpine pastures of the valley. Meadows and woods characterise the landscape, the path is quite flat and after approximately 4 km we cross a bridge to reach the western side of the valley and proceed towards the end of the valley, walking past the Lake Lois pond.
Soon the path continues towards the Celar Waterfall. The trail no. 7A which leads us to a panoramic platform at the waterfall branches to the left. Following this path further uphill, it is possible to reach the alpine meadows of Celar where the destination of our hike, the Gölbnerblick Hütte mountain hut is located. The hut is an ideal place to take a rest at while enjoying local delicacies. For the return we recommend you to take the path no. 6 which is wider and less steep than the path no. 7A.
