    Roadbook

    From the Venedigerhaus (1689m) follow the flat forest road on the right side of the Tauernbach valley-inwards until shortly before the valley station of the material cable car. Cross the stream over a wooden bridge (1750m) and now climb increasingly steeply in 2:30 hours to the Alte Prager Hut (2489m). Following the path, after 0:45 hours you reach the Neue Prager Hut (2782m).

    From the hut, go over boulder terrain and snowfields up to the Niedere Zaun (2950m) where you reach the glacier. Through a steep crevasse area lies the Schlatenkees, ascending to an altitude of 3180m. Now keep right and head directly to the left summit ridge of the Kleinvenediger (3477m).
    Descend along the summit ridge southwestwards to the Venedigerscharte (3405m) and over the southeast side to the Großvenediger (3662m). The last few meters are an exposed summit ridge.
    Return over the Großvenediger summit ridge and continue in a straight line towards the Hohes Aderl (3504m). From there descend eastward to the Rainertörl and ascend the Rainerhorn (3560m) via the north side and west ridge.

    The descent leads down to the Rainertörl and in a straight line over the Schlatenkees down to the Niedere Zaun. Continue over the Neue and Alte Prager Huts and at 2260m turn right onto the OeAV glacier path. Following this, reach the Eye of God (2160m) and the Salzbodensee (2138m). From there, descend steeply down the path into the valley and back to Innergschlöß.
