Description

Starting from Tuxerjochhaus, 2.313 m this stage follows Trail No. 326 gently downhill, passing below Lärmstange. Continuing either along the moraine ridge or the gravel road leads to Spannagelhaus, 2.531 m. From there, follow Trail No. 526, which runs well below the Gefrorene Wand Spitze, until reaching Friesenbergscharte, 2.910 m. The path becomes increasingly rocky and steep. The descent from Friesenbergscharte, 2.910 m is exposed and secured with ropes. After about 250 meters of descent, the trail levels off somewhat, continuing the descent in an easterly direction until reaching near Petersköpfl, 2.679 m. From there, it's just a few minutes to Friesenberghaus, 2.498 m.
