Access to starting point:
Arriving by train to Mallnitz is a good option because you can walk over the mountains to the other side of the Hohe Taurn mountain range and return by train through the Tauern Railway Tunnel, which is the longest tunnel of the Tauern Railway system with the length of 8371 meters. The train is also used for a motor vehicles transport between Mallnitz and Bad Gastein. An alternative option by road is 178 kilometres long.

Information for arriving by car:
Drive to Spittal an der Drau and take an exit for Lienz. Follow the regional road via Lendorf, after which drive a few kilometres and then take a right turn in the direction Möllbrücke, Mühldorf and Obervellach. Soon after Obervellach turn right in the direction Mallnitz. In Mallnitz park at a railway station (with motorail connection with Bad Gastein via 8371 m long Tauern tunnel).
Path description:
Exit the train station (Hauptbahnhof Mallnitz) and follow a road to Mallnitz for 100 meters. Before a stream Seebach turn right to a footpath (also marked with "Via Alpina" signs). Walk along the stream until you reach the first houses of Malnitz. Cross the first bridge and turn right. After reaching the main road in Mallnitz continue to the crossroads with many green signposts and follow the left road with signs Jamnigalm and Hagener Hütte.

Follow the road out of Mallnitz. When reaching the last houses of this side of Mallnitz, turn right and ascend to a footpath (a less attractive alternative is to follow the road). The footpath will lead you through the forest at about 50 meters of altitude above the road, however you may only occasionally glimpse the road below. Since this path is also used for a nice summer walks just outside of the city, there are many benches and points of interest along the way. Follow the signs for Jamnihalm or Stockerhütte. Keep left at one point when the path is not marked. After that you will reach the road again. Cross the road and the path in the forest will begin to ascend more steeply. Soon the path to Stockerhütte will branch away (i.e. a hut near a boom gate and ticket machine). Follow a wide path and signs for Jamnigalm or a path number 110. The forest will thin and the slopes will get steeper. The path will lead you to a dusty road, follow it for 5 minutes until you reach Jamnigalm.

Turn left at mountain pasture Jamnig and follow the trail west. At this point the trail will lead you through the grassy landscape while you will very leisurely but steadily gain on altitude.

Afterwards, the trail gets steeper. At this point the trail traverses vast fields of blackberry (very popular among locals). Occasionally there are some mountain streams that you will need to cross (it might be difficult for some children).

The trail is the most steep in the last part (the last third from Jamnigalm)of the way. It finally reaches and joins with the trail Hagenerweg leading to the Hagener Hütte. Turn left and after five minutes you will reach a Dr. Rudolf Weißgerber bivouac.

Head south to the summit of Feldseekopf. A path uphill is steep yet it does not present any techical difficulties.

After 30 minutes of uphill hike you will reach the less steep upper part of the mountain. After a leisure walk south along the ridge you will reach the summit. To reach the summit ascend the final 2 meters that are steeper. A cairn is set on the top, marking the highest point of Feldseekopf.

Wonderful sights open up at the top. Two lakes glitter to the west (the lower one is Feldsee). Southern part offers the most distant views. Julian and Carnic Alps can be seen in the distance. Nearer is a mountain Polinik, 2784m. The valley and a city Mallnitz lies to the east. The mountains Hochalmspitze, 3360m and Ankogel, 3252m can also be seen on the eastern horizon. However, the northern views end with Hinterer and Vorderer Geißlkopf (2888 and 2974m). A southern approach up to these mountains looks much more difficult than it actually is.
On the way: Seebach (1191m), Stockerhütte (1290m), Jamnigalm (1750m), Dr. Rudolf Weißgerber Biwak (bivouac) (2712m)
