Pitzenegg

Directly at the Lähn stop begins a short dead-end street that immediately leads to the main road of the small village. Follow it to the right, but at the next opportunity turn right again and cross the tracks. Just before the following parking lot, where drivers enter the route suggestion, keep left following a farm road. This then bends abruptly to the right after a short time and slowly ascends parallel to a massive avalanche barrier. After the path separates from the barrier, a crossroads is reached shortly after. Turn right here and continue ascending along the driveway until a fork. Do not follow the directly ascending private path here, but turn right. After about 25 m, leave the path again and follow the trail branching off to the left, which shortly thereafter crosses the private path and leads quickly into the Wiestal. Initially on the right side of the stream in the direction of travel, the trail temporarily switches sides but ultimately returns to the right side of the stream. Afterward, the trail moves slightly away from the stream to gain elevation more evenly. Once the trail approaches the stream again, some attention is required, as the abrupt, hardly marked crossing over the stream is easy to miss. On the other side, the trail quickly leads away from the cut and shortly after reaches a crossing driveway. Continue ascending on the large meadow there and, slightly offset to the right, follow trail traces ascending to the upper end of the clearing. Shortly after, the Alpenrosenweg, a clearly identifiable crossing trail, is reached. Turn left here and cross a belt of mountain pines.

Once open terrain is reached again, a thin trail leaves the Alpenrosenweg deviating slightly to the right. It leads toward Pitzenegg but repeatedly disappears in the grass. Therefore, now ascend noticeably more on the right side and aim for a small, discernible hollow below Pitzenegg. At the latest there, irregular trail traces are reached again, which lead in a large left arc over and onto the broad ridge that leaves Pitzenegg quite exactly southwards. One or another marking is found there repeatedly, providing security that you are on the right path. The route occasionally remains somewhat vague, but once on the ridge, the general direction is hardly to be missed. Above the mountain pine zone, it becomes very clear, although the steep grassy ledges demand some remaining strength from the leg muscles. The summit area consists of a short ridge crossing the ascent direction. Once reached, turn left and follow the narrow ridge edge for a few meters to the highest point.

The descent is on the same path back to Lähn.
