There are two steep paths that lead up to the top of Hochwurzen on the westward and southern side of the mountain.

Suggested Route: Beginning at the Hochwurzen station, a short descent to the parking lot and from here an easy climb to the "Kleine Wurzen" followed by a short descent along alpine meadows to the Hüttecksattel continuing on the right on a wide path that loops around to the beginning of the hike.

This slight climb along a well-marked path takes you to idyllic chalets and beautiful forests finally ending on top of Hochwurzen.

There are numerous mountains along the Alpine Path Giglach waiting to be climbed: Schiedeck, Hochfeld, Guschen, Roßfeld - all highlights of this trail which leads you through the heart of the Tauern range.

One of the great hikes around Hochwurzen leads to Roßfeld with the option of continuing to the Guschen. The path leading up to Roßfeld is an outdoor educational trail [in German].
