The starting point of this route is the Taferlklaussee. There you hike in a southerly direction first on a forest road above a gravel pit slightly uphill. Continue over the Aurach spring in many small bends through a forest area to the Aurachkar and the Antoniusbründl, which invites you to take a well-deserved rest. The path continues upwards in serpentines through the cirque, where it turns to the right after a steep step. Here you have the option of taking trail no. 827 to the Hochleckenkogel.

The path to the Hochleckenhaus leads to the right to the rocky head of the "Jausenstein". After a hollow, the trail climbs steeply before finally ascending over open areas to the Hochleckenhaus. Surefootedness is required during this passage.

Refreshment stop:
Hochleckenhaus (open from Easter to the end of October, possibility to stay overnight).
