Tips
The most inconspicuous summit (2,030 meters) in my opinion. The last hack head already shows how to proceed: Comparatively easy and relaxed, the ridge says goodbye and merges into the wide Wiesberg. Enjoy the view, magnificent views are possible especially on clear days, Großglockner and Großvenediger greet you from afar.

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.
