This hike leads east out of the Raiffeisenbank car park towards Gasthof Post. From there, cross the main road and walk between the Sonnenhof and Spielmann guesthouses towards St. Georgskirche church. Shortly before reaching the chapel, turn left to follow a dirt road across the fields to Affenhausen. Continue along the Wiesenweg trail, which initially leads left and slightly downhill before turning right at the next crossing towards the Nothelferkapelle chapel. Shortly afterwards, you'll see signs for the "Seerosenteich" (water lily pond). Follow the route as it leads along the left edge of the forest to the small pond. If you would like to do a circular hike, continue through the forest for just under half an hour until you come to a crossing with a forest road. Turn right and you'll soon see a yellow hiking sign that points the way back to Mieming/Obermieming. Once back in the alpine meadows, follow the paths towards St. Georgskirche church, which you'll soon see up on the right some distance away. From there, it's not far until you're back at the starting point.

The first section from Sellrain through Fotscher Valley to Alpengasthof Bergheim is possible by car. From there, the route continues along the Güterweg trail to the Kaseralm mountain hut.

The Potsdamer Hütte is a DAV (German Alpine Club) mountain hut and is open from mid-June until mid-October.

There are plenty of ways to join and enjoy the trail, which shows the full variety of the Sellrain mountains from the huge, glacier-covered granite gneiss mountains in the upper Lüsens Valley to the gentle hills around the Fotscher Valley and the mighty Acherkogel high above the Tyrolean Oberland region. Seven days, 80 kilometres and 5,700 vertical metres – the Sellrain Valley Mountain Hut Tour is a truly special mountaineering experience. The tour starts in Sellrain at an altitude of 900 metres above sea level and climbs right up to Schöntalspitze peak, the highest point of the tour, at an altitude of over 3,000 metres above sea level. The tour is split into seven stages and passes numerous mountain huts along the way, where you can enjoy delicious Tyrolean cuisine, rustic accommodation and rejuvenating tranquillity. The tour stops at the following mountain huts: Potsdamer Hütte, Westfalenhaus, Pforzheimer Hütte, Schweinfurter Hütte, Bielefelder Hütte and Dortmunder Hütte.
