The Hahntennjoch Road crosses the Lechtal Alps and connects Imst with Bschlabs. The pass, which can also be reached by public bus, is the starting point of our hike. We follow the marked path towards the Anhalter Hütte mountain hut. Below the limestone mountain "Falscher Kogel" the path runs uphill to the Steinjöchl ridge.
The 2,200 m high Steinjöchl is a transition between Mt. Falscher Kogel and the Maldongrat ridge and represents the highest point of this hike. From here the path descends along the north side of the Maldongrat ridge. This path leads past the Imster Ochsenalm directly to the Anhalter Mountain Hut and the Kromsee lake. At our visit in summer 2019 the Anhalter Hütte was closed due to rebuilding and change of management. The almost untouched natural landscape of the Lechtal Alps makes this hike a very beautiful experience.
