Ascent: Start south of Bad Altprags, in the valley of the same name at 1,379 m; between Welsberg and Niederdorf, on the street branching off from Val Pusteria (Pustertal) Valley. From the east side of the valley road, stay with Trail No. 14 along a narrow road through meadows up to a forest, and then partly along a forest road, partly along an old footpath, with a grade ranging from intermediate to steep, up to Sarlriedl, a ridge saddle between Monte Lungo (Lungkofel) Mountain in the north and Sarlköfele Mountain to the south (2,099 m); 2 hours from Bad Altprags. High Trail: from Sarlriedl Saddle, stay on Trail No. 3 in a triangle (signposting for the Dobbiaco (Toblach) – Longarone long-distance trail) southward to a little notch on the eastern side of Sarlköfele (2,163 m); continue to Flodigsattel Saddle (2,171 m) and the north-facing scree of Dürrenstein Mountain traversing west to the little Kirchler Schartl notch (2,280 m). Head down a bit, then up through a short chimney (fixed safety tether), down again for a bit, and through a second small chimney with a fixed tether. After another short descent, somewhat exposed, crossing a rocky gully, then nearly flat over boulders and through sparse mountain forest south to a woodland saddle, through a little grassy valley, with a gentle downhill grade to the intersection with the Dürrenstein Trail, which you take down to Plätzwiesensattel Saddle (1,993 m, restaurants); just under 3 hours from Sarlriedl Saddle. Descent: from Plätzwiese, it’s best to go back to the starting point by bus (2.5 hrs on foot, and not very worthwhile).

Sure-footedness is required; if you take the bus, the total walking time is about 5 hours.
