The Hierzeggloipe starts at the fish pond at the end of the standard West trail. From there it goes downhill towards Auwirt and past the Grundlehner to Camping Dachstein. Past the Mühlebner and the Bergerhof, a circular loop leads back to the campsite and on the same route back towards Schildlehen / Fischteich.

From the west:

Tauern Autobahn A 10 to the Ennstal junction - exit towards Graz / Schladming - around 20 km on the Ennstal federal road to Schladming - Ramsau junction. Continue to Ramsau-Schildlehen.
