Furgler is one of Austria's most popular mountains, but most people approach it from the east. From the north the path should still not be technical, but rather less busy and somewhat shielded from the hot sun. Following that, we can pass three or possibly four 2500m+ lakes, and then summit the Witch's Head, Hexenkopf. Finally, we descend back to See.

This route starts from the top of the Medrigjochbahn (€12 up, €7 down, or €13.50 combined, I presume only in one day). Alternatively, it would add 5 km each way, and 730 m ascent and descent, to start in See itself. Given the limited hours of operation, I think that making the last cable car down is almost impossible in one day, but the route could be split in two at the Hexenseehütte (€9 for young DAV members) or Ascher Hütte (€10 for young DAV members)

By car:
2h30-3h20 from Munich, 174 km. Not worth buying a vignette to save less than 10 mins.
Fuel costs: probably around €30 for a small car.
Automatic hut detection (experimental feature, please provide feedback)
