Versions: the direct ascent to the Katrin is relatively easy to do in 40 minutes It is advised to follow the recommended walking direction. From the top cable car station walk 100m southwest to the mountain rescue hut to a junction with signposts. Here keep left .At first the path is wide then narrows and becomes steep, there is a fixed line for safety. The path snakes up the hill. After a good 30 minute walk it reaches an intersection (47 ° 41'13 "N - 013 ° 34'28 " E- 1550 m). At this point the walk can be reduced by going right, reaching the Elferkogel in 10 minutes. The main trail goes left and reaches another intersection after 15 minutes (47 ° 41'20 "N - 013 ° 34'15 " E - 1610 m). Keep left and in about 20 minutes the trail reaches the top of Hainzen (47 ° 41'13 "N - 013 ° 34'00 " E - 1638 m). From here there are magnificent views in every direction. To descend follow the same trail back to the last signpost. At the signpost go left and the path rises and falls over the plateau to the east. The next intersection is at the summit cross of the Elferkogel (47 ° 41'15 "N - 013 ° 34'38 " E -1601 m). From here descend towards the east for 10 minutes to reach an intersection (47 ° 41'18 " N 013 ° 34'47 " E - 1550 m) with the direct uphill route from the cable car station. At this point you can descend to the right, back to the cable car station. Alternatively from here it is a 5 minute walk to the magnificent summit cross on the Katrin from which there are views over Bad Ischl. Return on the same path for 5 minutes and keep straight on. After a flat area it is possible to see the cable car station again and the end of the trail.
