Walk from Niederthai via the sports field in the direction of Wiesle. At the height of Mauslassattel you take the footpath on the right hand side, leading through Hemerwald forest to Untere Hemerachalm. Proceed to Obere Hemerachalm towards the timber line and a rock-strewn area. The last steep ascent to the peak ridge is quite challenging before you reach the summit cross. Descend on the same route. Very sporty hikers (enough time required!) can try the route via Hemerachscharte col down to lake Grastalsee. Continue towards the upper valley through Grastal. Important: this alternative tour takes another 4-5 hours!
