From the Russiskreuz stop, always follow the signs "Günther Messner Steig". At first, it is an easy hiking path up to the Tullen. Only from there it becomes more difficult, but never really hard. Many go the route without a via ferrata set. However, I wouldn't recommend it.

Author’s recommendation

You should definitely take the ascent of the Tullen. Great viewpoint!
