Schönfeldspitze (2653m)

On Sunday we visited the mountains above Maria Alm. We chose a hill with a special landmark, Mary with Jesus in her arms, as our goal. The usual path is quite visited, but on the partially marked ridge past Napfetzer we didn't meet anyone for 3.5 hours.
We left the car at parking lot 2 in Stabler Au. Parking is free. Quickly above the parking lot we turned onto a rather hidden path towards Tennhütte. Above it straight up through high ferns to Napfetzer. After 40 minutes of walking we came across the first red dot. The markings then appeared in various forms, red, blue dots and yellow ribbons. The path through sparse forest and then through pines is quite visible, higher up in rocks, scree and grass less so. About halfway there is a bivouac at a scenic, grassy location, with a view towards Maria Alm. Above it the path avoids the ridge and Brunnkopf summit to the right and higher up returns back to the ridge. In the upper part it is more rocky, but nothing special. Difficulty should be I-II.
After 3.5 hours we reach the ridge and the first summit Schönegg (2389m). From it there is a nice view towards Breithorn and Riemannhaus on the left and right towards Schönfeldspitze, where we will continue along the ridge.
In between we also step on the summit Wurmkopf (2451m), from there down into the notch and we are soon on the marked path that leads from Riemannhaus. The marked path is also not fully secured, only two harder passages and one rope was hanging on one jump. The path turns along ledges around the hill and on the eastern, very steep side to the summit. Surprisingly we were alone on the summit for at least 20 minutes.
We descended below the ridge via Riemannhaus into the valley. There the path is very developed, also with concrete steps and railings and very visited. After less than 9 hours and 1700hm we finish a nice tour. Only 4 hours of relaxed driving home awaits us with a stop in Schladming.
