From our starting point, the parking lot at
Alpengasthof Sabathy (1), 1620 m, we follow the slightly ascending Zirbitz hiking trail 316 to the Linderhütte (2), 1733 m. Immediately after the hut we turn slightly left onto trail 47. The rarely tracked trail through a pine forest leads first slightly downhill to the stream, over a wooden bridge and then briefly steeply uphill. We continue to follow the path, which after a right-hand bend leads left uphill to a forest road. From here we already have a wonderful view. When we reach the crossing point (3), 1880 m, on the ridge, we are already above the timberline and can see the Rothaidenhütte directly below us. The trail now leads slightly uphill along the eastern slope until we reach the junction (4), 1900 m, with trail 320, which leads us to the lift station of a drag lift and from there, along the edge of the slope, to the Waldheim Hut (5), 1614 m. Here is a good place for a break before we climb back up to the top station of the lift and pass the lift house on the right to reach a signpost in the direction of Rothaidenhütte. On this well-marked route we finally reach the Rothaidenhütte (6), 1836 m, in a sheltered hollow. After a short ascent towards the ridge, we meet the wooden signpost that shows us the way back.
