It is advisable, however, to take the last stretch on the well-marked path, which branches off to the left of the carriage road and rises among majestic fir trees. From Seebalm, continue along the path, which now climbs more steeply for a stretch.

We ignore the turnoff and continue halfway up the hillside, leaving the forest completely behind us. We begin to see the destination of our hike. A semicircular path takes us right below the pass. From here, with a final, rather steep section, we finally reach the pass, to the left of which is the hut and the characteristic small lake. The return is made along the ascent route. A
