Description

From the parking lot next to the road above Gh Steckholzer, head south along the road to the last farm - the Larcherhof. From there, follow the marked summer trail no. 82 to the Padauner Kogel. The trail begins across a meadow uphill and between two fences, then leads through a section of forest and quite steeply uphill to a material ropeway. There the forest thins out and you continue northwards over the broad ridge (Padauner Mähder) to the summit with its cross.

The descent follows the ascent route.
