Go through the vast Öfen gorge via the Rote Wand (also known as Rotwandschlag) and continue towards Stoderalm, located in a peaceful area. From there, continue towards Stoderzinken’s peak.

Follow the path from Lend through the Öfen until reaching the first cattle grid. Afterwards, keep left, passing through multiple steep steps until reaching Stoderalm or the Brünner huts. This is where the ascent to the peak (675) begins, from which you will have a lovely view of the Dachstein, even all the way to the Großglockner. The Hohen and Niedere Tauern in the south and southwest provide a lovely panorama view of our natural landscape.
