DAY 2: Winnebachsee Hutte to Westafelen Haus.
Next morning there was thick mist everywhere but we made it with no problems on  the very well marked trail to the Winnebach-Joch (2788 m). From the pass the trail went easily  down  to the next hut, the Westfalen Haus (2273 m).

The hut has hot showers (ATS 50) and a very friendly Hutten Wirt (hut warden) who took the picture that you see below.
