After about 25 minutes driving time you reach the starting point of the hike, which leads over a forest path slightly ascending to the Hackeralm. From there you hike on the Mitterstein circular trail through wooded area level in the direction of the Hirtenkapelle, the highlight of the hike. The trail continues across alpine meadows to the Meislsteinalm, which offers a wonderful view of the Steinernes Meer and invites you to linger.  Back you go on a road again to Hackeralm, where the round closes. The last part is similar to the first part of the hike, with a wonderful view back to the starting point.
