From the parking lot Bachwinkl in the direction of Peter Wiechenthaler hut on the way, you arrive at the crossroads. Now you have the choice of the "normal" trail to continue to walk to the hut, or you take the path over the Jagasteig.
In any case, one should opt for the Jagasteig. On the one hand, this way is not so crowded and on the other hand you can enjoy the really impressive landscape.
The climb is varied and a bit demanding.
You do not need special equipment, but you should be sure-footed and free from giddiness, as there are already some, albeit slight, crampons and ladders to overcome.

The Jagersteig is a really nice way to the Peter Wiechenthaler hut!
Sections with crates and ladders and areas where you can secure yourself to the ropes. You do not have to be a professional to do well for beginners, but you should be sure-footed and free from giddiness.
