Our hike starts at the Islistzer hotel in Hinterbichl. The road ascends to the serpentinite stone pit from where the path no. 914, a gravel road up to the Rif. Johannishütte starts. The road is open only for the residents in this area and the shuttle service "Venediger Taxi".
The path proceeds past some alpine pastures and is characterised by a steeper ascent at the Gumbachkreuz cross before running almost flat to 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 the regions of Tyrol and Salzburg.
