Our walking tour starts at the Islistzer Tavern in Hinterbichl. The road ascends to the serpentinite stone pit where the path no. 914 starts, a gravelled road which proceeds up to the Johannishütte mountain hut. The road is only open for some residents and a shuttle service.
The path proceeds past some alpine pastures, conquers a steeper ascent at the Gumbachkreuz cross and becomes flat again until the Johannishütte. At the hut, the view on the mighty Grossvenediger is really impressive. With its 3,657 metres it is one of the highest mountains of Austria and forms the border between Tyrol and Salzburg.
