From the parking lot Wimm a path goes along the forest road, direction Zireinersee and Roßkogel. We walk through a fascinating landscape, passing Eilalm, Labeggalm, Anderl's hut and Kreuzeinalm Hochleger. After the Labeggalm we continue on a trail on alpine meadows, past the cross Hochleger to Roßkogelsattel. Now we follow the trail to the jewel Zireinersee, which is reached in about 20 minutes.  Located at 1,799 m the 400 m long lake is immersed in beautiful alpine pastures between the Rofanspitze (1940m) and Rosskogel (2259m) peaks. "The Blue Eye of the Rofan" and "The Jewel of the Rofan" how is often called, one of the most beautiful lakes in the surroundings.

On the way back at the Roßkogelsattel we climb till we reach Roßkogel summit and here we will spend some time to enjoy the great views. The we descend to the east and we continue to the Hochalm and over a trail always along the slope back to the Kreuzein Hochleger and the Labeggalm, where our circle closes again.
