From the Hotel am Pragser Wildsee (1,495 m), follow the flat path on the right bank to the southern end of the lake. There, follow the signs no. 1 in the direction of Seekofel. The well-maintained but steep path first leads over a field of scree and then through the forest into the so-called Nabige Loch, where you have to overcome an easy section secured with a wire rope before continuing the ascent.

At the next fork in the path, keep right and continue to follow trail no. 1 until the forest thins out. The path winds its way up the rocks via a serpentine secured with a wire rope and, after a total of around 3 hours, reaches the Ofen valley to the Ofenscharte (2,380 m), where a shrine of Mary is located.

The route now leads over the challenging, unmarked south-east flank of the Seekofel, which leads north past the shrine. The steep slope is interspersed with scree and rocks. A steel wire robe facilitates the crossing of the steep passage.
