Please note: Due to renovation work at the Württembergerhaus, this stage starts at the Steinseehütte in 2025

Route description: From the hut, first descend a short distance on a path. Then gently ascending meadow slopes and a scree slope are crossed before the trail leads steeply through a rocky grassy flank (one section secured by ropes) to the ridge. Now left and right of the ridge almost flat to the north to the summit of the Großbergspitze (wooden cross).

From the Großbergspitze, the route gently descends a short distance along the ridge crest. A rock ledge is overcome - ascending - with the help of wire ropes, then a few steps up to the Großbergkopf. The route now descends to the left of the ridge on a steep and exposed gravel path past the Großbergjoch. You then cross meadow slopes - initially descending further - until the trail ascends again. It crosses a scree cirque and finally leads more steeply up to the Seescharte. From there, descend on the other side through scree, rubble and on earthy ground. The trail leads along above a small gorge and into meadow terrain. Finally past the largest lake in the area of the hut to the stage finish.
