Großer Bösenstein - Kleiner Bösenstein - Großer Hengst

We start at the parking lot and hike past the Scheibelalm on the right to the Edelrautehütte (1706 m), where the trail continues to the left. Slightly uphill we follow the trail to the Großer Scheibelsee and continue to the right until we reach the saddle. We keep left, cross a slope and reach the second steep step via serpentines. We now choose the difficult route via the east ridge (path 946) and reach the Großer Bösenstein (2448 m) via boulders (clear traces and markings). The descent along trail 944 leads over rocky steps to the Elendscharte and, staying on the ridge line, uphill to the Kleiner Bösenstein (2396 m). The further course of the path is clear and tends to descend to the Großer Hengst (2159 m). Last but not least, we reach the timberline and follow the trail downhill to the Scheibelalm and the starting point.

In the Murtal region there are three free hiking maps that show the entire region with the Seetaler Alps, Seckauer-, Wölzer-, Rottenmanner Tauern, Stubalpe and the Pöls- and Murtal. The maps are in scale 1.50.000.
