Kleines Törl
Encyclopedia
The Kleines Törl is a wind gap at an altitude of 2102 metres (6,896.3 ft) in the eastern part of the Kaisergebirge
mountain range in the Austrian federal state of Tyrol.
Viewed from the village of Going
to the south, it can be clearly distinguished as a notch in the prominent main crest of the Wilder Kaiser. A signposted and heavily frequented climbing trail runs from the Fritz Pflaum Hut
into the Griesner Cirque (Griesner Kar) to the north, through the Kleines Törl on the southern side, where the path is known as the Gildensteig, and on down to the Gaudeamus Hut
or Ackerl Hut
. This route is, however, largely exposed and requires surefootedness, no fear of heights, and Alpine experience. Several minutes south of the Törl a second, signposted, but not secured, path through the rocks branches off to the 2253 metres (7,391.7 ft) high Regalmspitze
, which is classed at UIAA climbing grade II. The Kleines Törl is a popular destination in spring for ski tours from the Kaiserbach valley
