From the Taferklause the way goes up to the Hochleckenkogel (1691 m), on to the Brunnkogel (1708 m), then to the Mathiaskogel (1660 m) and the Jagaköpfel (1668 m). After a rest in the Hochleckenhaus you go back to the Taferlklaussee.

At the trail sign, the route branches off onto **Trail No. 829** toward **the Hochleckenkogel**. After reaching the mountain pine-covered **Hochleckenkogel**, there’s a short descent before climbing the **Brunnkogel**. There stands the **14-meter-high summit cross**, considered the highest summit cross in the Eastern Alps. The tour continues along **Trail No. 828** toward **the Hochleckenhaus**. The **Matthiaskogel** lies directly on the trail. A short detour to **the Jagaköpfel** takes about 10 minutes. For the descent after the Hochleckenhaus, **Trail No. 827** leads back to the starting point. **Alternative Route:** If you return from the Brunnkogel via the same route instead of continuing on to the other peaks, the walking time is reduced by about 40 minutes. The distance is then approximately 9.7 km. **Getting There / Transportation:** The Traunsee Taxi can be reached by phone at **+43 50 422 422**, Monday through Sunday from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. You must book by phone at least 1 hour before departure.
