An inconspicuously sophisticated tour - from the adventure park, you will first travel to the left towards the summit cross entrance after the first steep climb. Travelling through the back of Freinstein, you will reach the Freinstein summit cross via a few steep steps and return to the starting point via Assacherscharte.
At the beginning, Path no. 12 leads through the western part of the adventure park. Then it continues steeply uphill until reaching a wider path. It leads slightly uphill past the Goaßsteig entrance up to the next crossroad. From there, follow path no. 679 on the right towards Freienstein. The path at this level is only suitable for experienced mountain climbers.
Arriving at the summit cross, continue until reaching Assacherscharte. From there, travel a short distance on the forest path towards Stoderzinken. After a few meters, a path on the right will lead to the forest again (take the second path, no. 90). Follow the path downhill towards Stoderstraße and back again to the starting point.
