From the Wörschachwalderhof you walk northwards following marker #297 up into the forest to the “Grantsch Ifong” crossroads. There turn left on path #297 towards Hechlstein West. You hike westwards on the forest road with only slight climbs. Shortly after the turn-off to a private alpine hut you reach a trail crossing above a beautiful alpine meadow. If you continue hiking westwards and descend a bit in the forest, you can take Gwendlingstein (1,645 m) with you on your tour via route 297a and the southern ascent. Otherwise you hike up to the "Struwin" and from there you climb eastwards along the partially secured path up to the summit of Hechlstein (1,815 m). Well recovered, you head east on the easier way back. You hike leisurely back to Wörschachwald, following the markings #297 and #278.
