The ascent from Scharnstein takes place on path W 411 from Fischerbühel or from the Traxenbichl train station of the Almtalbahn and on path W 417 (Scharnstein). The paths are well signposted and initially lead a piece of goods roads, then through wooded areas up to the summit.

A little hint:
From Scharnstein over the Hauergraben: from the Hauergraben car park, the path leads past a wonderful daffodil meadow (flowering: May, walking time to the meadow approx. 20 minutes)
