Ascent: Along the street towards the mountain rescue hut. After this hut you walk on the right side through a high forest in the direction of the Kaltenbachalm. Along the summer check marks to the Mittlere Kaltenbachsee.
From here on there are two possible variants. The first one is the easier one: you walk southwest-wards and pass the Obere Kaltenbachsee on the left side and across the Ertrachboden to the Deneck.
The second variant would be: you walk northwest-wards towards Sonnkar to the Deneck. - Directions
