This is a beautiful, but physically demanding mountain hiking trail that should definitely not be underestimated.
             
 
    
        Magnificent views of the Niedere Tauern, the Dachstein, the Toten Gebirge in the north, the Zirbitzkogel and the Julian Alps with Triglav in the south, as well as, on a clear day, the easternmost glaciers of the Central Alps, the Hochalmspitze and the Ankogel.

                            From the Karlhütte car park on path 796a to the Schattner Hut (1,799m). From the Schattner Hut to the right, the path leads to a small lake and continues to the saddle to the Brennerfeldeck to the south. Always along the ridge you go from the GI of the Brennerfeldeck (2507m) to the Feldeck (2480m) and the Trübeck (2367m) where, a few hundred meters after the last summit, you branch off towards Krautgarten-Kunstenbach. In Schöder you take path no. 796 in the direction of Dorfhütten (Krakaudorf).
