Route description:
Shortly after the MK Maiskogelbahn cable car station and the Maisi Flitzer, the route leads through a subway on an asphalted road, the Einödweg, to the yellow signposts pointing uphill to the left. From there, a forest trail quickly leads uphill in a few hairpin bends with a moderate gradient. After about 15 minutes, the view becomes clearer and you reach a pasture area via an overpass. Cross this and a flat trail, which can be boggy after rainfall, then leads to the high forest.
Partly in the forest, partly in a pasture area, the trail then climbs a few metres in altitude. Continue westwards through a beautiful high forest to the Stallner High Route or take the trail leading eastwards. This takes you past the Zaglgut - above the Plattenbauer - to Schaufelbergstraße.
Take this road back down into the valley. The pedestrian tunnel takes you back to the starting point in Kaprun.
