Routes

A marked path leads from the Jägerwirt near Scheffau to the summit from the southwest. Only the last 10 m to the summit show difficulties of III. Grades (UIAA) (somewhat defused with a few ring iron stirrups, but steep and exposed), the rest is no more difficult than I (except for one point with a terminal block, II), but very prone to falling rocks.

Another ascent leads from the east, from the Gruttenhütte over the Schutterfeldköpfe to the summit, this now well-marked path is beautifully landscaped, but quite demanding, as it is not secured with ropes (except for a steep step with almost no handles and steps), brittle and extremely prone to falling rocks ( to III).

There is also a marked transition between Tuxeck and Treffauer (in places I). J. Enzensperger and H. Hahn chose this route on August 14, 1897 when they first climbed the Tuxeck.

Surefootedness and a head for heights as well as some climbing skills and a good sense of direction are required for all routes.

More difficult climbing routes can hardly be found here. The southern ridge with difficulty IV is hardly ever climbed and is only of historical importance; further climbs such as that from the southwest (II) or the south face (II) are also insignificant.
