The funicular takes you to the Wurzeralm mountain station in no time at all. Once there, you hike along the "2 million years in 2 hours" themed trail to the idyllic Brunnsteinersee lake. From here the path winds its way up to the Rote Wand saddle. A short, steep section takes you to the summit of the Rote Wand. Here you will be rewarded for your efforts with a magnificent view of the surrounding mountains. From the summit, you walk downhill to the Dümlerhütte and continue uphill again via the Halssattel to the forest road. Follow this road for a while and turn left along the hiking trail, past the Filzmoosalmen and along the themed trail back to the Wurzeralm mountain station.
