As an enthusiastic mountaineer , he founded the Taufers section of the Austrian Alpine Club in 1873 ; it was the fifth section of Tyrol . He had hiking trails and shelters built and wrote the first area guide for the Tauferer Ahrntal . Led by mountain guide Stephan Kirchler, he and his brother Karl managed the first ascent of the 3,253 m high III. Hornspitze on the main ridge of the Zillertal Alps . The establishment of the Chemnitzer Hütte by the Chemnitz section of the German Alpine Club in 1895 was due to his initiative and drive.
