The way leads from the highest situated house in Donnersbach along a forest walk to the timberline. It goes on across the ridge to the two summits.

On the right side in front of the farm Hochbär, we follow the markings Mölbegg 930/Hochstein 931. The way leads us quickly uphill towards the forest. At the fork of the ways in the forest, we keep left. We hike further through the wood and reach a high ridge with a clearing and a small lake. From there we enjoy the wonderful view of the summits, Mölbegg, Edelweißspitze and Hochstein. At the branch Mölbegg Hochstein we keep slightly left towards Mölbegg. The path leads us across the side of the Mölbegg to the summit.

More information

From Irdning towards Donnersbach, along the Planneralm street towards Ilgenberg, after 2 km turn left, uphill then right, stay on this narrow road until the farm Hochbär.

On the right before the Hochbär farmstead, follow the Mölbegg 930 or Hochstein 931 markings. The trail leads up into the forest. At the fork in the path in the forest, keep left and continue hiking up the steeper trail to the tree line. In total you cross a forest road three times. Then you will come to a high ridge with a clearing and a small lake. Take a short break to shoot a few photos, from there you can enjoy a wonderful view of the peaks Mölbegg, Edelweißspitze and Hochstein. Continue on a narrow path to the Scharte. At the junction Mölbegg/Hochstein you keep slightly left and hike up the flank to the summit. A summit with a lot of power, because it allows you a 360° panoramic view of the very best - Grimming foot-free, of course. Further hiking possibility to the Hochstein.

If your legs are still tingling at the summit of the Mölbegg, then head for the next peak, the Hochstein.

At the Hochbär homestead. On nice weekends, do not park in driveways and if in doubt, ask the owner.
