Short and technically easy route to the highest peak in the trail running area.
From the parking lot, head west on undulating terrain towards the Draxlerloch piste. You cross this and reach the Scheinecksattel a little later. From here, the trail becomes much steeper. Once you reach the ridge path, turn right. The trail flattens out and a final upswing leads to the summit. An impressive panorama awaits as a reward. For the descent, follow the ascent route.
High alpine terrain!
1. Please avoid the trails during night and twilight hours (animal feeding time).
2. Behave quietly and attentively, avoid contact with grazing cattle.
3. Show consideration for flora and fauna and treat people working here, nature, and animals with respect.
4. Observe general warning signs (e.g., restricted area signs). Respect fences and close gates again.
5. Be cautious in extreme weather, seek shelter or turn back if necessary.
6. Please take your trash with you again.
Trailrunning shoes, possibly poles. Trailrunning backpack with supplies and first aid kit, emergency blanket, mobile phone, rain and sun protection.
