A longer but fantastic tour with magnificent views! The last few meters are secured with a steel cable so that you can reach the summit.

The hike offers magnificent views and breathtaking mountain scenery! In terms of landscape, it is a great tour with many small lakes and large karens. The tour requires a little mountain experience and can quickly become dangerous in wet or snowy conditions. The effort of the ascent is rewarded with a magnificent panorama. The tour is recommended for all hikers up to the lake in Wiegenkar.

There, at a fork in the path, we turn left uphill to another fork, keeping to the right there.

Passing under it, we keep to the markings until we go left at another fork, very steeply up to the south-east flank. After a short piece of ridge, it goes slightly downhill again.
