The fastest approach is from the Douglass Hut at the Lünersee via the Saulajoch. Follow the signpost "Saulajoch" to the Saulajoch. At the Saulajoch there is already a signpost "Via Ferrata Saulakopf to the start 10 min." (direction Heinrich Hueter Hut). Shortly after the H. Hueter Hut comes into view, you reach a signposted fork where the path to the start of the Saulakopf via ferrata leads off to the left.
The key point is just after the start. You have to overcome a slightly overhanging wall about 15 m high. Afterwards, the steel cable often leads vertically and airy up to the summit of Saulakopf (2,516 m). In the upper third, a spectacular rope bridge awaits you, which can also be bypassed.
The descent leads from the summit via an exposed, partly secured but marked path to the Saulajoch (Saulakopf normal route). Risky when wet, fresh snow, or icy!
