Path description:
From the parking lot, walk to the end of the road where the Hotel Heidi is located. Near the hotel, you will see yellow mountain signs directing you over a grazing fence to a grassy slope, which you can climb in a few steps to a marked crossroads.
A direct path leads up to Falkert on the left, and we continue to the right, following the markings Klomnock, Falkert 1h 15 min. The trail then crosses the slopes below the cable car and then crosses a stream in a gentle ascent. The trail then turns slightly left and follows a grassy slope up to the Hundsfeldscharte notch between the Falkert and Falkertköpfl peaks.
At the notch where there is a crossroads, continue left after the Falkert markers. The ridge trail leads past the top station of the cable car and there is only one last climb up the grassy slope to the summit.
