The starting point of this route is Lake Taferlklaussee. From there, you first hike southwards on a forest road above a gravel pit slightly uphill. The route continues via the Aurachursprung spring in many small hairpin bends through a wooded area to the Aurachkar and the Antoniusbründl, which invites you to take a well-earned rest. The route continues upwards in serpentines through the cirque, where the path turns right after a steep step. Here you have the option of taking path no. 827 to the Hochleckenkogel.

The path to the Hochleckenhaus leads to the right to the rocky head of the "Jausenstein". After a hollow, the trail climbs steeply uphill before finally crossing open areas up to the Hochleckenhaus. Surefootedness is required during this section.
