From the starting point you walk in the direction of Oberpiller passing the Piller fishpond. After walking on the Rodelbahn (toboggan run in winter) for a short while you will reach a steep path in the direction of the catered mountain hut Gogles Alm. At the next fork, keep right until the steep path joins a forest road. Continue to walk on the forest road to get to the Gogles Alm. From there, walk along the Venet-Rundwanderweg [circular route] to the catered mountain hut Galflun Alm. Once there, forest path takes you further to the catered mountain hut Larcher Alm. Just before the Larcher Alm a steep path forks off to the right towards Piller. This path joins a wide track, which will take you back to Piller.

Starting point: gondola top station. From the starting point take the path to the Hochzeiger mountain towards the Groaßsee lake. At the lake, the path forks off to the right to the Hohe Gemeindekopf peak (2,771 m). From there, 
you may choose to descend via Kugleter See (lake), keeping to the right to get to the catered mountain hut Ludwigsburger Hütte and then continue to Zaunhof.

A steep trail leads from the starting point up to the catered mountain hut Arzler Alm. Once there, turn left onto a trail towards Rappenkopf until you reach the Kreuzjoch turnoff. Then walk to past a hunting lodge. Descend via Tiefentalalm mountain hut and continue along the agricultural road back down to your starting point. 

Turn right on the clearly waymarked track, following the bends in the direction of the Brandkogel peak. Climb further on this steep track, secured by steel ropes, through gullies and rocky slopes, cross over a cirque, the Alzeleskar and walk around the Steinkogel peak in a wide arch. Please note that difficult passages are secured by steel ropes but you still must be sure-footed and confident not to suffer any fear of heights - 360 degrees overview. When this track joins the high-level trail Cottbuser Höhenweg and the path from Plangeroß in the direction of the catered mountain hut Kaunergrathütte, the path is at first flat (but over rocks and stones) but then climbs very steeply up to the Kaunergrat Hütte. Descend via the outward route, but turn off towards Plangeroß at the aforementioned fork. Take the bus back to the starting point Mandarfen.

Tip: If you still feel fit, you may wish to continue to climb the Plangeroßk opf summit 
to enjoy beautiful panoramic scenery, which you can reach in about 1 hr from the Kaunergrathütte. Grade: intermediate.
