Crossing from Breslauer Hut to Taschachhaus

From the Breslauer Hut, follow the clear mountain path, which ascends northwest below the Urkundkopf into the wide Mitterkar. Here it bypasses two large rocky ridges coming from the Wildspitze on their west side and then goes right for a short stretch into the uppermost cirque of the former Mitterkar Glacier. Here, turn left and climb steeply with the aid of steel cables and footholds up to the Mitterkarjoch, which provides the transition to the upper Taschach Glacier. (An optional ascent of the Wildspitze is possible here to the right). Follow the Taschach Glacier descending slightly for a short distance to the west and then turn right to bypass the glacier break on the right in a wide arc.

Now go continuously northwest, still slightly descending towards the Mittelberg Joch visible from afar. However, do not ascend to the right to the Joch but remain below and approach the rocky flank rising to the left of the Joch. Then turn slightly left, descend mildly in the middle of the glacier, and then turn right again to head fairly flat towards the rocky lateral moraine where cairns are visible. After climbing onto the moraine, follow always along its edge to the west. Pass by an ice lake; beyond it, the path is exposed for a short stretch. After the path leads more steeply downhill in switchbacks, it reaches a terrain ledge and turns left towards the glacier. (Signposted "Taschachhaus", do not continue straight on the direct path into the Taschach Valley!) On an eroded path, descend to the glacier where crampons should be put on again as a short slope must be climbed that often has bare ice in high summer. Cross the flat glacier shelf to the west and reach the opposite lateral moraine at the height of a marker pole. Here you see various trail marks. You must pay close attention to the red markings and cairns and thus reach a clear path crossing the east flank of the Urkundkopf. The last exposed passages are easily overcome with the help of wire cables before you finally see the Taschachhaus below you.
