From Unterplanken, go eastwards past the chapel of St. Florian and uphill along forest path no. 91 on the orographic right side of the Finsterbach stream. After about 45 minutes the trail from Oberplanken joins; follow it briefly, then turn left towards the Schuher Alm (1958 m, Dolomite panorama). Continue southwards on the Toblacher Höhenweg no. 24, passing Rosszogel (2163 m) and Stacher Riedl (2173 m). Cross a wide ridge to the Golfen (2493 m) and for the more ambitious continue another 30 minutes to the Hochhorn summit (2623 m).
