At the Mitzl-Moitzl Hut, there is an emergency shelter under the roof. This is accessible from the outside.Roadbook
Starting from the Gasthof Baumgartner, follow path 683. You will pass by two springs and reach the first hut - the "Panier Hut".

From the Mitzl-Moitzl Hut, you reach the saddle between Schwarzkogel and Mallestiger Mittagskogel directly on the state border in about 15 minutes. From here, follow the varied path 684 westwards to the summit of the Mallestiger Mittagskogel at 1,801 m. The last 30 meters are very exposed and unsecured - you must be sure-footed and absolutely free from vertigo.
The descent follows the same route.
