Ascent: Along the forest road for about 1.5 km. After a bend to the right, turn left onto another forest road. After another right turn, leave the forest road and walk steeply for a short distance on a trail through dense forest until you meet another forest road again, to the right of the so-called Waldhüttl (1744 m). Do not cross over to the Waldüttl, but continue straight on across an open area and then through the forest until you reach the path again Again, straight on uphill through a forest until you reach the open alpine pasture area above the forest line at two alpine huts (1822 m). Pass the alp on the right and turn diagonally right up into the long hollow. On the right a little steeper to the Saxner.
Descent: as ascent.
Important! At the left turn (in the downhill direction) at 1620 m you should not go straight down (young forest!).
