Großer Kraxenberg (2198m) via southern Wassertal

From the parking lot on path 216 towards Salzsteigjoch or Poppenalm. Do not turn right to Steyrursprung. Later, about 400m after a barrier, turn right (there is a hunting stand on the left side) and cross a meadow into a sparse forest. Climb along the walls of the lower Wassertal to about 1100m. There is a small climbing section with a steel pin to overcome on the left. Ascend through the scenically impressive Wassertal until the distinctive Mitterberg becomes visible. Then continue left into the southern Wassertal. On the left side, a small rock step must be climbed. This spot is secured with a rope. First, ascend the following steep slope best on foot (and possibly with crampons). As soon as it becomes flatter, continue skidding in a left arc towards the summit of the Großer Kraxenberg.

Descent either the same way as ascent or more difficult via the Schobertal.

Descent variant Schobertal: depending on snow conditions and route, partly climb down into the Schneiderkar. Then through a steep gully (> 40°) to the rock cliff. Caution: danger of falling! Now traverse about 40m left across the upper ledge to the abseiling point. Depending on snow depth, abseil up to 28m (about 20m of which are overhanging). Continue skiing down through the Schobertal. Keeping left, depending on snow conditions, either steeply descend through a sparse larch forest to Poppenalm or (as shown in the track) descend on foot via a hunter's path marked with cairns to Poppenalm. Then return on the forest road (No. 216) back to the parking lot.
