    Ascent with the Acherkogel cable car or the Ochsengarten gondola. From the top station, hike on the wide forest road to the Bielefelder Hut (2,150 m). You pass the hut and continue on a well-maintained but steep hiking trail towards Mohrenkopf. Below the summit, you reach the junction "Old Bielefelder Hut." The path then rises only slightly, and on the left a steep path branches off up to Rosskopf (2,399 m).

    Author’s recommendation

    If you have enough energy left on the way back, you can hike to the Old Bielefelder Hut and return via the Acherberg Alm.
