From Breitlehnjoch, one can see for the first time the characteristic Kaunergrat (Watzespitze, Verweilspitze ...). A complete view that constantly amazes you. The trail to Kapuzinerjöchl requires full attention. After crossing a scree slope, small switchbacks lead very steeply through rocky terrain up to the col.
