From the Traualpsee it is only a short walk to the Landsberger Hütte. The path is partially secured with wire ropes. Surefootedness is an advantage

The LandsbergerHütte is a Dav Hütte with a good kitchen and comfortable sleeping facilities. Our room had bunk beds. Only the shower didn't work properly despite payment and there was only cold water

Nice view of the north face of the Lachenspitze with the via ferrata in it. The apple strudel is recommended.
