Ascent:
The normal route to the highest peak of the Kaisergebirge begins at the starting point of the hike at the Wochenbrunner Alm. Here you first follow trail 825 to the Gruttenhütte. After a short break, you will ascend to the large gravel cirque "Hochgrubach". On the following ascent via the Gamsängersteig there is great danger from falling rocks due to mountaineers ahead. In the first section of the climb, you will cross steep, rocky and grass-interspersed, fragile terrain (scree terrain - only partially secured with steel ropes) until you reach the Jägerwand steps with over 70 treads a little below the Rote Rinnscharte passage. Afterwards, the trail leads over several rope-secured passages to a parting of the ways. Here there are two options, once left through a narrow gorge and over a short vertical ladder or over to the right very exposed along steel cables to a rock terrace. From here you climb over more rock steps and past the Babenstuberhütte (Notbiwak) to the summit. Enjoy the fantastic 360° panorama from the highest point in the Kaisergebirge.
(Ascent from the Gruttenhütte mountain hut to the summit in about 2.5 hours).
Attention - snowfields can often be expected until well into the summer!
Descent:
as ascent
Prerequisite: No fear of heights and surefootedness as well as alpine experience and good physical condition are absolutely necessary! HELM (Danger of falling rocks!)
Recommendation: climbing harness & via ferrata set
TIP:
Fridays - guided tour with a state-certified mountain guide.

Ascent:
The normal route to the highest peak of the Kaisergebirge starts at the hiking trailhead at Wochenbrunner Alm. Here you first follow the signs to the Gruttenhütte. After a short break, you ascend into the large scree basin "Hochgrubach". On the following ascent via the Gamsängersteig, there is great danger of falling rocks caused by preceding climbers. In the first section of the trail, you cross the rocky ledges called "Gamsänger", above you the rock walls of the Kopftörl Ridge until you reach, just above the Rote Rinnscharte, the Jägerwand staircase with over 70 steps. In easy climbing, you ascend to a gully – here there is sometimes snow far into the summer. Just below the summit is an emergency bivouac, the Babenstuber Hut. Enjoy the fantastic view from the highest peak in the Kaisergebirge.
Overall well marked and well secured. (Ascent from the Gruttenhütte to the summit in about 2h 30 min)
Descent:
same as ascent
Variant:
From the Gruttenhütte via the Klammlweg down to the Gaudeamushütte, 1,263 m, and back to Wochenbrunner Alm.
