From Preiner Gscheid, the trail initially follows a former ski slope, climbing a bit more steeply at first. Soon, the incline eases, and the route continues comfortably along a wide and clearly visible path, passing an alpine hut before reaching the Siebenbrunnerwiese.
Here, a magnificent view opens up of the southern cliffs of the Predigtstuhl and the western Raxenmäuer. Keeping to the right, the trail ascends again — either along a footpath or a forest road — to the clearly visible Waxriegelhaus.
The return follows the same route. To top it off, the Edelweißhütte at Preiner Gscheid awaits all thirsty and hungry hikers at the end of the tour.
