Signposting 213 - Ascent via Grieskarsteig - Wildgößl and to the Pühringerhütte hut
Starting from the Seehaus, hike southwards on a forest road slightly uphill through the forest to the "Röll", an impressive rocky basin. Back in the forest, you come to a fork in the Sepp-Huber-Steig/Grießkarsteig trail. The Griekarsteig branches off to the right here. The Grieskarsteig leads up through mountain pine bushes and rocky terrain, with steep sections secured with wire ropes. The last section up the "Ernst-Urban-Band" is negotiated with the help of an iron ladder and a long wire rope, finally leading across a snow field and then steeply up to the saddle. From the Grieskarscharte, the route leads over the Abblassbühel and the Elmgrube to the Pühringerhütte.
From the Aknsee lake, plan approx. 6 hours.
