The only spot on the ridge between Pillsteinhöhe and Illingerberg, where the route leads over some rough stones/rocks between the alpine pastures - some route-finding and pushing is necessary there.

The first photo (from the air) wonderfully shows the switchbacks at the end of the valley basin up to the saddle between Pillsteinhöhe and Zwölferhorn. The forest road in this section is in very good condition 😀
