First you follow path number 8 from the starting point, which takes you directly to the Wuhrstein Alm . We continue on a forest road , past beautiful alpine meadows to the Wirtsalm , which is already at an altitude of 1,421 meters . The forest road ends there and a small path begins. This leads through the mountain pine-covered slope to the summit of the Geigelstein , which on clear days offers a view of the Chiemsee , the Kaiser Mountains and the Berchtesgaden Alps.

The way back leads you north to the Geigelsteinsattel . From there you reach the Roßalm , which is located at 1,700 meters, over an alpine plateau. The path continues to the Haidenholz-Alm , where you can choose between two different types of path . The first variant is the forest road (path no.8), which takes you directly to the starting point. Another option is the steep path (path no. 81), which branches off about 500 meters below the Haidenholz-Alm and shortly afterwards splits into two paths again at the Blasialm stamping point. Go right, come back on path no.8, which will then lead you to the parking lot. Going straight ahead you come to the valley to the west above Schleching , from which you can return to the starting point via path no.28. However, you can also return directly from the Geigelsteinsattel to the Priener Hut via the Karlalm.
