The starting point for the hike is the Simian parking lot. Hiking trail number 4 takes you along a beautiful hiking path, passing the cozy Riemerbergl Alm, which is located along the way. Stay on trail number 4 until you reach the Kofelraster lakes. After the first lake, turn left and continue on trail number 4 until you finally reach the summit cross of the Hohen Dieb.
From Simian we follow the marking no. 4 to the Riemerbergl alpine hut and further to the Kofelraster lakes. From there we follow the marking no. 4 again and again to the summit.
