Start and finish: St. Georgen am Walde / parking lot at Gasthaus Stoabau'n Wirt
Total duration: 5; 45 hours
Path: well signposted / marked forest roads, forest and meadow paths as well as some rocky passages (Burgstallschlucht: very narrow ascent, put your backpack down beforehand!)
Weather: cloudy, hardly any sun, sea of ​​fog over the Alpine foothills, too warm for the season; some wind at the summit
