At the Eisenerzer Höhe cross, walk 10 steps in the direction of Eisenerz and then take a sharp right turn. The path from the Eisenerzer Höhe actually always stays in the same direction with 3 counter ascents. On the descent you take the same path back. You will not find any refreshment stops during the tour. At the summit of the Großer Geiger you have a very good view of the Hinterwildalpen, the Hochschwab and Gesäuseberge mountains and the Alpine foothills.
Basically, you take the ascent path as the descent path back.
Rather no water along the ascent trail.
Recommended stop and overnight stay: Gasthaus Zum Krug in Hinterwildalpen
Insider tip: Since the forest road from Landl to the Buchberg was built, an old hunting trail (partly cairns) from Gr. Geiger to Winterhöh is quite often used. A connection to Hoher Buchberg and Goss is therefore possible, or a descent to Pumerlniederalm / Lurgg as a round tour. Important to tackle only with good maps, gps device and in good weather!
Alpine mountain hike in Hinterwildalpen in a very rustic alpine and mountain village with unique flora and fauna. Incidentally, Hinterwildalpen also has the valley head and crossings to Gams or Eisenerz are only possible on foot. Quiet summer days invite you to linger and relax. The sun terrace at the Zum Krug inn in Hinterwildalpen offers the finest panoramic views.
