From the "Rappenseehütte", the Heilbronner Weg climbs the large stone col to the "Wiesleskar Cirque". A winding trail then continues upwards. On finally reaching the rocky terrain of the "Hohes Licht", you may need your hands for support for the first time. The steep climb leads to a rock ledge on the east face of the "Hohes Licht" before continuing uphill at a slightly more leisurely gradient. Several exposed or difficult sections are equipped with steel cables for your protection. After a few more metres, the route continues uphill to the small stone col. After a little aluminium bridge, the route becomes embedded in the rock once more and heads downhill towards the "Socktalscharte" where you will find an emergency descent route to the "Waltenberger Haus". From the col, the route winds its way up to the summit of the "Bockkarkopf". The rugged and rocky descent from the "Bockkarkopf" once again requires a great deal of concentration and sure-footedness. The more demanding section of the Heilbronner ridgeway ends at the "Bockkarscharte", from where the route continues along gentler terrain over the "Schwarze Milz" and the "Mädelejoch" to the "Kemptner Hütte".
