Ascent:

The normal route to the highest peak of the Kaisergebirge begins at the starting point of the hike at the Wochenbrunner Alm.

On the following ascent via the Gamsängersteig there is great danger from falling rocks due to mountaineers ahead. In the first section of the climb, you will cross steep, rocky and grass-interspersed, fragile terrain (scree terrain - only partially secured with steel ropes) until you reach the Jägerwand steps with over 70 treads a little below...
