This extremely difficult 12.775-kilometer circular hike around Kareck offers stunning views and challenging terrain. Starting at the parking area, the trail leads you through picturesque landscapes, with the first point of interest being the Schneeflockerl restaurant at 0.22 kilometers from the start. As you continue on, at the 6.06-kilometer mark, you will come across the Gipfelkreuz wayside cross and the Kareck peak, both significant landmarks along the route.

Hikers are advised to bring plenty of water and snacks, as well as checking the weather forecast before embarking on this demanding journey. The elevation gain of 715 meters adds to the difficulty of the hike, so proper hiking gear and physical fitness are essential.
