Igelrunde

Leaving the Coburger Hut eastwards towards the saddle by the Drachensee, it soon goes uphill again towards the soccer meadow. This is reached via several switchbacks. The plain is crossed straight on to a slightly ascending moraine, which you initially follow upwards before leaving it shortly afterwards to the right again. Here it is worth looking back at the figures and names laid out in the meadow with stones by wandering artists. Now continuing uphill, you soon reach the crossing of a steep flank. At its end, keep left and leave the turnoff to the Grünsteinscharte on the right. Now it goes gently uphill over a small hump beneath the walls of the Grießspitzen towards the Tajatörl, the notch directly below the western Grießspitze.

Now it initially goes down a bit on a serpentine before continuing gently down to a sandy-clay area (which may be covered with snow even into midsummer). After this, keep an eye out for the sign towards the Breitenkopfhütte, which you follow to the right. The first section of the following path is characterized by grassy rocky outcrops while the second is defined by crossings of steep scree slopes. Steep and sometimes a bit slippery, it then goes uphill to the Igelsscharte. The detour to the Igelskopf is reserved for alpine hikers.

From the notch, it now goes down a bit more gently than up. The Breitenkopfhütte, spectacularly located in one of the former entrances of the old mine, is also worth a detour, as it offers what some call the "most beautiful throne room in the world": a rustic toilet decorated with panorama hearts. However, we keep left and soon encounter the old, but surprisingly well-developed, path of the miners with their pack animals, equipped with small retaining walls. We now follow this path further downhill until it fades a bit and leads into a beautiful mountain forest, which is crossed on a narrow path in a romantically wild serpentine. When this clears and you hear a stream, you are near the lower entrance to the former tunnel. Here you can also see a laid-out pack animal path, which we do not follow. The correct way is to the left towards the Igelsee. Passing a shed with wood for hikers to the Breitenkopfhütte, you will soon reach it.

On a forest road, we circle the lake, which in late summer may be just a meadow, counterclockwise. At a junction, we turn left and reach, passing a waste station, the turnoff to the panorama trail. In the forest, after a large clearing, a path branches off to the right after a short ascent towards the Seebenblick, which offers a great view of the Ehrwalder valley basin. From here it goes over the Seebenalm on a frost road towards the Seebensee. After a bend, you can shorten briefly on a trail over some rock slabs before you can admire the Seebensee again from its east shore on the forest road. After the station of the material cable car of the Coburger Hut, you then dedicate yourself to the so-called hut slope, a long serpentine uphill to the Coburger Hut, the end of the route.
