The tour begins with a ride up to the Hochmuth via cable car, where the Gasthof Hochmuth is located. From there, trail no. 22 leads past the Gasthof Steinegg to the Gasthof Mutkopf at an altitude of 1,684 meters. The path continues on forest trail no. 22/23, winding over the ridge to a fork in the road. Here, keep left and follow trail no. 23, which leads over the steep eastern ridge to the summit at 2,295 meters. The effort is rewarded with a unique panoramic view of the Merano region, the surrounding peaks of the Texel Group Nature Park, the Passer Valley, the Adige Valley, and the Venosta Valley. The return journey is on the same route. A certain surefootedness is necessary for this tour.
