2nd day:  
Transfer to the Kreuzeck cable car, and ascent (free-of-charge with the NP-Kärnten Card) to the Rosswiese reservoir (1,196m); start of the walking tour.

Route: via the Mernik alpine pasture (snack stop: 1,474m) – Rosseben saddle (1,977m), to the Salzkofel Hut (1,987m).

3rd day:  
Route: Route: from the Salzkofel Hut, via Goldgruben Scharte (2,448m), Annaruhe (2,508m) and Nassfeld Törl (2,332m) to the Feldner Hut (2,182m)

4th day:
Route: from the Feldner Hut, via Glenktörl (2,457m) and the Hochkreuz summit (2,709m) to the Hugo von Gerbers Hut (2,347m)

Characteristics: a fantastic day and certainly the climax of a trekking route that is superb by any standards; it includes gorgeous mountain lakes, breathtaking panoramic views and the ascent of one of the main summits of the whole mountain group.

From the alpinist's point of view too this leg of the trip is the real high point. Sure-footedness – and in some stretches a head for heights - are required. There is no serious climbing involved at any point, the short difficult stretches have been secured with fixed ropes; be particularly careful when it’s wet, and in early Summer on the steep glacial cirques. Moderately difficult; altitude difference: 700 m, 7 hrs.

5th day:
Route:
from the Hugo von Gerbers Hut, via the Kreuzeck main ridge and the Ziethen Kopf (2,484m) to the Anna Refuge House (1,992m) and the Stronacher Saddle car park (1,474m); endpoint of the trekking tour; transfer to a Tauern Alpine establishment.

Characteristics: another marvellous but long leg of the tour; almost exclusively it follows the main ridge of the mountain group; according to the map it crosses no fewer than 8 (eight!) summits; certainly this is the day with the most panoramic views; from the point of view of alpinistic difficulty, it is comparable with days 3 and 4. Moderately difficult; altitude difference: 400 m, 8 hrs.

6th day:
Departure, or much better: stay for another day in your Tauern Alpine establishment to "come down" from your tour!
