You can also climb the Hochkeil if you start directly in Mühlbach. To do this, take the Erzweg (nos. 84a, 88, 85) until you reach the Sonneck Inn. Here you first follow the goods path No. 18a, which leads around the Hochkeil. However, if you have the summit as your destination, follow the turnoff to path no. 84, which leads directly to the Hochkeil. In good visibility, you can even make out the summit of the Großglockner from here. For the way back you can take the path towards Arthurhaus. (see Panorama hike to the Hochkeil) From there the hiking bus will take you to Mühlbach.

Safe hiking requires advance information and preparation. Please observe the rules for correct behavior in the mountains. Because your safety is very important to us. And don't forget to drink plenty of fluids during the tour! Take litter down into the valley. Conserve the flora and fauna. Behavior with animals on the mountain pastures: Do not stroke or irritate cows, calves, sheep, horses etc., but behave "quite normally" and do not show any fear. Do not leave paths on alpine pastures and avoid animals at great distances. Dogs must be kept on a leash. Dogs must never chase the grazing animals, especially mother cows fear for their calves. However, if a grazing animal attacks the dog, simply let it run for its own protection.
