    Behind the Almgasthof, a single trail winds steeply uphill in a southerly direction. You reach the mountain hut via several steps. Now follow the ridge path to the west and reach the summit of the Hochkar on undulating terrain. On the way back, follow the ascent path or turn left after a few hundred meters to the north onto the trail that leads you back to the Scheinecksattel and the starting point.

    Author’s recommendation

    Take time for a small additional loop on the Hochkar sky route!
