Schafsiedel

The Schafsiedel is a 2,447 m above sea level (AA) high mountain in the Kitzbühel Alps in Austria.

[1] About 500 m south of the summit is the Aleitenspitze (2,449 m above sea level (AA)), which is easily reached from the Schafsiedel.

Its starting point near an inn, the Gasthof Wegscheid (1,148 m), is accessible by car over a metalled toll road.

The path climbs steeply up the wooded slopes above a mountain stream, the Kurzer Grund Ache, to the New Bamberg Hut (1,756 m) that perches on a hillside just above an Alpine meadow nestling amongst the surrounding peaks.

Behind the hut, the path branches off to the Schafsiedel, climbing the steep, grassy slopes in a westerly direction to the picturesque Lower Wildalm Lake (Unterer Wildalmsee, 1,937 m), which is often frequented by anglers.
