Directions:

When you leave the Solsteinhaus, take trail 213 down towards the Möslalm pasture. When the trail forks at the ‘Wilde Iss’, take the Gipfelstürmerweg trail (215) eastwards and head past the Wilde-Iss-Jagdhütte hut. The trail snakes along a green ridge featuring trees and mountain pines as it leads you up to the ‘Hippen’ peak. After a brief descent, you are then faced with a very steep ascent along passages secured with ropes that bring you to the Frau Hitt ridge. This is located to the west of the prominent Frau Hitt rock needle. CAUTION: even in early summer, the Frau Hitt cirque may feature a very large amount of old snow that remains icy into the morning (risk of falling: Snowline Spikes and sticks provide optimum protection). Legend has it that the rock needle represents a woman on a horse. The descent from the Frau Hitt ridge starts out very steep and subsequently follows the Schmidhubersteig trail, crossing picturesque mountain pastures on the way to the Seegrube restaurant (1906 m).
