You have to follow the trail "801" which goes to Wiener-Neustädter-Hütte. After crossing the ski slope, the terrain becomes steep an it goes through gravel. You have to very careful in this section as there are very small stones often on the track. After approximately two hours of hiking, you will reach the a point where the path from Eibsee converges. The views of Eibsee are breathtaking here. After this the trail becomes very narrow and often secured with the rope. A helmet is highly recommended in this part. Soon you will arrive at the hut Wiener-Neustädter-Hütte.

From the hut, you need 15 min to the via ferrata entry point. The via ferrata is grade A/B, and a helmet is mandatory for it. After 2-3 hours in the via ferrata, you will arrive at the summit.
