If you are travelling by car, you can use the Eisbrücke car park. Otherwise, start your tour near the municipal office in Sellrain and hike through the picturesque Fotschertal valley. After a short stretch, you will reach the goods road that leads you to the Kaseralm.


From the Kaseralm, you have two options to get to the Potsdamer Hütte at 2,009 metres:


Option 1: Follow the winter trail, which runs to the right of the Fotscherbach stream and leads directly to the Potsdamer Hütte via the Seealm.

Option 2: Cross the Fotscherbach and take the summer trail - the so-called Gottwaldweg - on the left-hand side. Although this route is shorter, it is somewhat rockier and swampy in places, but offers particularly beautiful views.


The DAV's Potsdamer Hütte is open from mid-June to mid-October and invites you to take a well-earned rest before you start your return journey.
