Located on the way to the Ice Chapel, which is fed by the Watzmann

From here the route turns red. However, you can still walk a simple piece on gravel in the ice ditch, up to the cairns.

From here it continues without a fixed route in the direction of the Watzmann east face and the ice chapel. In summer the easiest way is through the dry river bed, but the path should not be underestimated, it stretches quite a bit all the way to the ice chapel. But you will be rewarded with great impressions, simply worth seeing.

Impressive, there is actually a tour to the summit, even without the east face. Walking time at least 8 hours depending on fitness level.

From this point you leave the path and go off road towards Eiskapelle. WARNING!: wear good shoes and take walking sticks, the road towards Eiskapelle can be dangerous and should not be underestimated. Not recommended for people with walking difficulties.
