After spending the night at the Putzentalalm, you continue on hiking trail #786 to Prebertörl. Between Alpkarspitze and Opferstock you climb through the Alpkar up to Prebertörl. The last 200 meters are a short distance but very steep. From the Prebertörl you have a beautiful view of the Prebergraben and now cross the southern slopes eastwards below the Gamskarspitze and the Knarrnspitze. Soon you will reach the crossroads at Rantentörl, where you meet the original route of the Tauern Höhenweg. You follow path #702 down to Hinterkarsee, which is ideal for a rest.From there it goes briefly up to Hinterkarscharte (2,274 m) and on the northern flank from Kircheleck and Lachkogel over to Hubenbauertörl (2,050 m), where the path from the Striegleralm joins your path.
Now it goes southeast downhill to the Hubenbaueralm and at around 1,550 m above sea level through the forest again northeast to the Grafenalm. Through a short stretch of forest uphill you finally reach the Rudolf Schober Hut.
