The Mackiesteig is located to the right of the R. Wagnersteig and ascends mostly on craggy rocky terrain as well as on steep, slippery earth. It reaches the plateau to the right of the Eicherthütte.
Author’s recommendation
Use my track and do not take the crossing to the Wagnersteig in the uppermost section, but the normal exit.

Roadbook
From Grünbach train station, take the paved road to a signpost "Seiser Toni." It goes up to the road. Before Seiser Toni, go left up to a fork from which you go right up to the Wandfußsteig. Follow the Wandfußsteig past Kanzelsteig, towards the R. Wagnersteig and then a short distance to the New Mackiesteig. Now using red dots that are not always clearly visible, across rocky terrain often interspersed with earth. After a small left crossing, continue to a rock ridge with a thin rope. From there, continue up with or without the rope. I did not trust the rope as it has been there for many years. I have known the rope for about 20 years. I tested the rope anchors, they seemed fine. I felt safer not using it. Further up, before the exit, we carefully crossed the steep, earthy terrain over to R. Wagnersteig. This variant was new to me. Further to the Eicherthütte, then to Grafenbergweg and down to Binderbankerl, where the Babysteig (a nice easy via ferrata) begins. Across the road and further down, partly using the ascent paths back to the train station. There are still many descriptions with pictures on the internet.
