After the comfortable ride with the cable car Feuerkogelseilbahn to the platform, you have to look for the signpostet path to the Helmesgupf. After passing the Heumahdgupf and the Steinkogel, you reach the diversion to the Kaiserweg (number 837) just before the Helmesgupf. This steep track leads through the valley "Gletschtal", from which you can see the valley Trauntal. One obstacle is the approximately 30 m high ridge to the Ofenhöhe (1594 m). This steep track is secured by tightropes. After this short "climbing" you reach the Vordere Spitzalm (Jagdhaus) without problems. The beginning of the path to the valley Trauntal (number 830) meanders in many serpentines through a steep forest. Then you reach a forest street, which leads at the Miesenbachmühle to the old federal B 145. Ebensee can be reached via the train very easily. The next station from this place is at the village Steinkogel. Hiking-time: Bergstation - Vordere Spitzlam: approximately 3 hours Vordere Spitzlam - Miesenbachmühle: approximately 2 hours [ Tour and route information ](#ttgCollapseTourdetails) --------------------------------------------------------- **Starting place:** 4802 Ebensee **Destination:** 4802 Ebensee **duration:** 2h 31m **length:** 7,3 km **Altitude difference (uphill):** 36m **Altitude difference (downhill):** 1.134m **Lowest point:** 462m **Highest point:** 1.596m **difficulty:** difficult **condition:** difficult **panoramic view:** Some Views **Paths covering:** Hiking trail **Starting point:** mountain station cable car Feuerkogel **Destination:** Miesenbachmühle [ ![Altitude profile Kaiserweg im Höllengebirge bei Ebensee](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430001121&width=355&height=250&FontSize=12&mkt=en) ![Altitude profile Kaiserweg im Höllengebirge bei Ebensee](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430001121&width=450&height=350&mkt=en) ](#ttgHoehenprofilModal "Kaiserweg im Höllengebirge bei Ebensee") [ Arrival ](#ttgCollapseAnreise) ---------------------------------- **Accessibility / arrival**departure Regau-B145 in the direction of Bad Ischl-turn right into the center of Ebensee- in front of the bridge turn right to the parking place of the cable car Feuerkogel.
