Just above the church, close to the centre of Ahornach, we follow the street to the right (not the one to the left leading to Pojen!) until we reach its end with a large car park at approx. 1,560 m, below the Gasteiger farm (from the centre of the village to here it is approx. a 1.5 hr walk on route nr. 10 ). We hike uphill following the street to the first right hand bend where we proceed straight on passing the barrier until we arrive at a signpost which leads us down on the right onto path nr. 10 b to the Schlafhäuser. Near the uppermost Schlafhaus we can enjoy the panoramic view of the valley for the first time. Directly behind the cabin, heading to the left, you will find path nr. 10 c to Ahornacher Jöchl saddle. We continue walking through marvellous mountain pine and stone-pine woods in order to reach a clearing where we turn northwards and climb up the steep, rocky track to the Ahornacher Jöchl at 2,270 m. The way back is the same as for the ascent. Alternatively, from the top you can follow the track leading down to the Pojener Alm and eventually to Pojen. From there however you must follow a tarred road back to Ahornach (an additional 1.5 hr. walking distance).
