The ascent of the Schildenstein, the western corner pillar of the Blauberge, can be extended into a multi-day hiking stay in the Blauberge area, as Blaubergalm and Gufferthütte offer accommodation options. On the other hand, it is also possible to switch from the Tyrolean side to the Bavarian side and return to the starting point by bus.
From the bus stop in Achenwald, a bridge crosses over the Seeache. We cross this and enter the village. Now we continue hiking along the Klammbach, uphill through the narrow valley, until we reach the Klammbachalm. The ascent now becomes increasingly steep. Following the alpine path, we come to a clearing just before the border, where the path now turns east towards the Blaubergalm. From the alpine pasture, the route swings north and leads up to the saddle between the Blauberge and the 1613 m high Schildenstein, which is actually still counted among the Blauberge. This can be climbed without significant difficulty via a rocky, steep path starting at a service hut northwest of the saddle. The return route follows the well-known ascent path back to Achenwald.
