Hohenwart, Eiskarspitz, Glattjoch

From the Schöttlkapelle parking lot, the trail is almost flat to the end of the valley at the Schöttljagdhaus (1,456 m). In this area, don't miss the fork in the trail over the stream and follow the wooden signpost “Hohenwart”/“Fischsee.” Still on a wide trail, the trail climbs moderately in the forest to the northeast to the Pemlerhütte and continue across open terrain past the Fischsee lake below the Pölseck Joch. Here, the marked trail from the Pusterwald side joins our path. The trail zigzags steeply but easily to the edge of the summit plateau, from where you can walk across to the summit cross of the Hohenwart. The descent leads westward into a wide saddle and, after a short climb, to the Eiskarspitze. From here, the trail descends steeply into another saddle and then follows a small path, which requires surefootedness, across
the entire ridge, following trail no. 10 to the Glattjoch. From here, follow marker no. 936 until you reach a wide cirque and descend along the Weber stream to the Schöttljagdhaus, from where you return on the familiar gravel road down to the parking lot at the Schöttlkapelle.

Due to the length and duration, a certain level of fitness, endurance, and sure-footedness are required.
