    Roadbook

    From the Pürzlbach parking lot (maintenance fee € 2.00) you go up to the Dießbach reservoir. On the dam, you walk along the right side of the lake and follow the wide path No. 401 along the lake. Here begins the Mitterkaser Nature Park with the magnificent stone pines and beautiful flora. Along the Dießbach, you walk slightly uphill to the valley station of the material cableway. Now begins the trail, which leads you steeply upwards in switchbacks into the Stone Sea. Along the south faces of the Dießbacheck and the little Hundstod, you reach the Ingolstädter Haus.

    If you stay overnight at the Ingolstädter Haus, ascending the Hunstod (2,594 m) is possible the next day for experienced mountaineers in 1.5 to 2 hours.
