Through the Kematengraben you first go up to the Scheiblegger Hochalm at 1,660 m.

Before the Kreuzkogel is climbed (2,011), you can take a detour to the Hahnstein (1,697 m).

From the Kreuzkogel the trail continues along a high trail to the Riffel (2,106 m).

An insider tip is the Sparafeld, from where you can look directly over to the Admonter Reichenstein.

From the Riffel there is still the Admonter Kalbling (2,196 m) to climb. From here descent to the Oberts Klinke hut, overnight stay!

A beautiful hiking tour full of motives leads to the Mödlinger Huttette, until Johnsbach.
