From the mountain station of the Wurzeralm mountain station, hike to the Brunnsteinersee, until which point you are on a gravel road. From the Brunnsteinersee, there begins a steep, though harmless climb to the Rote Wand saddle. Continue by hiking up along the ridgeline, across the Speikwiese to the shoulder. Now comes a short hike down to where the Toter Mann begins to rise (surefootedness a must). From the Toter Mann, a gently ascending rocky plateau leads up to the summit of the Warscheneck. Trekking trail No. 201 drops down to the Zellerhütte and continues to Vorder- and Hinterstoder.
