The northern ramp of the Triebener Tauern Pass leads along the Trieben stream from Trieben in the Palten valley up to Hohentauern, a picturesque mountain village on the top of the pass. Just under three kilometers (1,9 mi) before Hohentauern, the main road branches off towards the top of the pass and a small road leads further into the widening Triebental. The further you go into the valley, the more impressive the mountain scenery becomes. Very soon, the unmissable, striking Großer Grießstein (2337 m / 7667 ft) comes into view on the right-hand side. T here are several parking spaces for hikers in the Triebental. Parking space 2 (Seyfried) is the chosen starting point for the tour to the Großer Grießstein (2337 m / 7667 ft).  From here, the path leads across a cow pasture and finally along a forest path at the edge of the pasture, gently ascending along the babbling Bärenbach stream. After just over a kilometer (0.6 mi), the path joins a forest road, which you follow for about 300 me
