4-summit-Tour Hochaide - Moserspitz - Diewaldgupf - Seegupf

We set out on a scenic four-summit hike around the Rottenmanner Hütte in the Gesäuse adventure region. Hochhaide, Moserspitz, Diewaldgupf, and Seegupf reward us with unforgettable panoramic views and rugged alpine terrain.

This demanding loop takes us across four prominent 2,000-meter peaks in the Rottenmanner Tauern. After reaching the Rottenmanner Hütte, we enjoy a short break before following trail no. 944a over Hirschriedl toward the Singsdorfer Alm. We ascend along a small stream to the spring at Bachspreng – the last chance to refill our water. Beneath the steep cliffs of Moserspitz, we reach the saddle at 2,165 m and, after some scrambling, the summit ridge, which is secured with cables. The views from the top are spectacular. We continue along the ridge to Moserspitz (2,230 m), Diewaldgupf (2,125 m), and Seegupf (2,011 m), tackling about 250 meters of counter-ascent. The descent leads through the Seescharte and a secured path to the Globuckensee. After a final rest at the Rottenmanner Hütte, we return to the parking area. Surefootedness, a head for heights, and alpine experience are essential for this tour.
