The Sonneck is a beautiful, panoramic mountain that rightly bears its name. This can be reached from the Kaisertal via the Bettlersteig and Güttlersteig, as a variant, the ascent via the via ferrata on the Lower Gamskarköpfl is possible; or, for example, from the Kaiser Hochalm (Scheffauer side), past the Sonnenstein. Here the path first leads over the Kopfkraxen to the Sonneck.

In any case, you should have enough liquid with you, as there are hardly any opportunities to take in water on the way. In addition, you move large parts of the tour in open terrain without proper sun protection.

The long ascent is rewarded with a wonderful view of the Wilder Kaiser (especially the Haltstock), the Zahmer Kaiser, the Kaisertal, the Kopfkraxen, the Hackenköpf, the Scheffauer and the Hintersteiner See, as well as an all-round view as far as Germany and up to to the Hohe Tauern (Großglockner, Großvenediger).

The Sonneck offers a magnificent view of the Wilder and also of the Zahmen Kaiser.

A very beautiful tour from Scheffau. An early start is recommended, as a large portion of the route is on the south side. There's a slightly longer section with rope protection, and it's a bit steep at times.
