The second summit of the Hackenkopf trilogy. The way to this point can be very demanding, for experienced mountain hikers, he is a pleasure. Almost always on the ridge, with sometimes very exposed areas, but a magnificent view. Hardly any traffic, as a rule you are alone here. At the Mittlerer Hackenkopf, too, you will be rewarded with a great view, especially on the way you have traveled and still to come.

Demanding, largely pathless mountain tour with short climbing sections of grade II. Surefootedness and a head for heights, as well as a feeling for the right path are essential. The route is only partially marked with very faded markings and cairns. Good physical condition is also required for the almost 4 km long ridge. It is imperative that the weather conditions are stable - never go if there is a risk of thunderstorms. A helmet is strongly recommended for the ascent or descent via the Widauersteig (from or to the Kaindlhütte) due to falling rocks.
