Starting point for this hike is Großsölk - the estate "Koller". From there a beautiful forest path leads to the "Schönwetterhütte", which is open during the summer. A steep slope leads to the "Schleinhütte", a mountain pasture built of Sölk marble. The path continues through a large cirque with some frog pools. Over a long ridge one reaches the summit after approx. 3.5 hours of ascent. Via the same path we walk back to the farm Koller.

Alternatively, after the Schleinhütte, you can keep right and climb up Blockfeldspitz to Gumpeneck.
