Mountain tour (high tour) from Seichenbrunn over the Untere Seescharte to the Wangenitzseehütte and onto the Petzeck To the Wangenitzseehütte (896 m in altitude/5.2 km; 2.5-3 hours): From the car park, briefly walk along the road into the valley, after the first pasture fence turn right over the Debantbach, after a few meters follow the sign to the right for Wangenitzseehütte No. 939 up an alpine meadow to the edge of the forest. There you hike for a while along a cart track through a sparse forest. Soon the signposted mountain path branches off to the left, follow this up through sparse terrain, cross below the material cable car and reach the wide alpine pastures of the Gaimberger Feld, with the small Halterhütte in the fenced area. Climb up over a step in the terrain until you join the crossing Zinkeweg, which leads from the Lienzer Hütte. To the right, crossing steep slopes, finally in tight serpentines, steeply uphill to the Untere Seescharte (2529 m). A few meters downhill, then between the Kreuzsee and Wangenitzsee, over to the Wangenitzseehütte (2508 m), which is located on a ridge high above the Wangenitzsee. To the Petzeck (817 m/3.4 km; 3 hours): Behind the hut, follow the sign for Petzeck no. 927, leave the Kruckelkopf turnoff on the left and traverse in an easterly direction, partly briefly downhill and over secured passages, around the rocky foothills of the Kruckelkopf, into a hollow below the Kruckelkar. To the right, out onto a clearly defined ridge and up along it. Before the Kruckelkar, turn left around a pronounced rocky peak, continue on a flatter path for a short time and then to the right of the Kruckelkar, diagonally over rubble and debris up to a ledge. Now over steep, rocky terrain along a ramp with easy scrambling to a shoulder of terrain, where a small cirque opens up. On the right edge, climb up over scree to a flat area, where you also see the summit goal for the first time. Follow the numerous stone almonds, up in a northerly direction, diagonally down into a wide hollow and over a snowfield (remnant of glacier) to the broad summit structure. Follow the markings in several serpentines on the broad southern ridge, easily up over rugged terrain to the summit of the Petzeck (3283 m). Descent: Along the ascent route with short counter-climbs back to the hut and up to the Untere Seescharte.

Just a short walk from the hut. Worth it if the visibility is good 👀.

After a drive on the Großglockner High Alpine Road, this pass was rather unspectacular. Relatively heavy traffic on the B107, so I would rather recommend the old Iselsbergstraße uphill.

First test on the Glocknerstrasse if you come from the south. »The 1209 m above sea level A. ... high Iselsberg - also called Iselsbergpass - is a mountain pass in Austria. The Großglockner Straße (B 107) leads over the top of the pass, connecting the Lienz valley floor in the East Tyrolean Drautal with the Carinthian Mölltal. In order to reach the mines of the Mölltal, there was already a way over the Iselsberg in Roman times. « via https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iselsberg_(Pass)
