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:
