Route description: This stage starts at the Nördlinger Hütte mountain hut and initially heads east. The trail then turns north and passes below the eastern rock faces of Reither Spitze mountain before heading east once more to the Ursprungsattel ridge (2,087 m). From there, do not continue towards the Freiungstürme mountains. Instead, head north-east and follow the trail that leads downhill. At the Breiter Sattel ridge (1,794 m), turn right to follow trail 74 towards the Eppzirler Scharte col. This trail takes you over a large scree field on the Kuhljoch and then winds its way up to the Eppzirler Scharte (2,102 m). From there, the route leads down the lime gravel-filled Höllkar corrie for around 200 vertical metres (trail 212) before following the gentle undulations of trail 211/212 to the Solsteinhaus mountain hut.
