Route description:
Signposts at the mountain hut Salzstiegelhaus direct us left towards the southwest in the direction of the saddle Peterer Sattel and the peaks Speikkogel, Ameringkogel, and Großerberg, where we initially walk on a macadam road, then quickly turn right onto a cart track. The cart track we follow moderately ascends, and at the crossing of the grazing fence, we turn left towards Ameringkogel. There follows some easy walking, then we moderately ascend on a grassy slope where a ski slope runs in winter. When the forest along the path ends, we quickly ascend to the indistinct peak Rosseben, where the reservoir Salzstiegel Almsee is nearby.
The description and pictures refer to the condition in July 2023.
