From the mountain station of the Planai cable car at Schladminger Hütte, follow path no.779 over the Planai summit or on the panoramic circular route to the Krahbergsattel. Through a short forest passage and then ascending towards Krahbergzinken, you branch off halfway up the Krahbergzinken and follow the narrow path to the rocky connecting ridge of the Seerieszinken. Great care must be taken on this section! The panorama is terrific.The trail leads a little below the Höchststein ridge along the southwest flank to Spielbühel.
There, for the first time, the Riesachsee becomes visible deep below. After the Hasenkarscharte, you come to the junction on the Höchsteingipfel. Follow path no. 779 and no. 781, after crossing the Kaltenbachkares you reach another cross at the Neualm, where you continue straight on on the so-called Höfertsteig no. 782. From the Neualm you reach the Preintalerhütte and the Waldhornalm in one good hour. Here you have earned a long rest.
The next day, hard-working hikers can take a tour to the Sonntagskarseen or even descend directly to the Seeleiten car park.
