Tourist development
The first tourists in the area were Anton Spiehler and companions. In the 1880s they were the first to climb the most important mountain peaks. The area is made accessible today by a few hiking trails, for example the European long-distance hiking trail E4 crosses the Parzinn. The Steinseehütte , Hanauer Hütte , Memminger Hütte and the Württemberger Haus , as shelters of the Alpine Club, serve as bases for alpinism . In the vicinity of these huts there are climbing routes of various difficulties. The Parzinn can be reached from the south from the Oberinntal, from the north from the Streimbachtal and from the west from the Otterbachtal.
