From the Bergerhube, we first follow a forest road that leads us in a south-easterly direction. After the first bridge, we branch off to the right and walk along a hollow path through the forest along the Grünbach stream. We soon reach a forest road again, which takes us to the idyllically situated and unmanaged Schaunitzalm.
The ascent continues slightly uphill to Schaunitztörl, where we keep left towards Krugtörl, where a short, rocky step awaits us. From here, we continue along the ridge with wonderful panoramic views up to the summit cross of the 2,225 m high Kerschkern. The descent is via the ascent route. Please note the winter markings!
