Ursprungalm is the starting point for this hike. From here you take trail #771 which takes you to the Giglachseen Lakes, lying in a breathtaking mountain scenery. On the way to the Lakes you walk along a historic trade route, that was already used 2,000 years ago, in the time of the Roman empire. The path back then was a trade route and alpine pass.
Once you reach the Giglachkar cirque you pass by Giglachsee Hütte chalet and walk along the Giglachseen Lakes on trail #702. You pass by Ignaz-Mattis-Hütte chalet and soon after you reach the trail junction with trail #776 at the lower end of the bigger of the two Giglachseen Lakes. You walk along trail #776 until you reach the trail crossing with trail #775 a couple of minutes later. Walking along trail #775 now you hike up along the slopes of Murspitzen, finally reaching Murspitzsattel mountain saddle at Ferchtlhöhe ridge. From there you get a first glimpse of Duisitzkarsee Lake.
The steep descent takes you down to the lake. Through a larch forest you reach Duisitzkarseehütte and Fahrlechhütte chalets at the lake. The last part of the tour takes you downhill from the lake to Eschachalm.
