Roadbook
Start at the Wasserscheidebrunnen fountain near the information board and head toward the church, continuing straight ahead uphill until you reach the upper end of Karlstift. After passing the barrier on the forest road, turn right onto a narrow forest path after about 200 meters. Passing a shelter hut, interesting rock formations, and beautiful viewpoints, you’ll cross the ski lift tracks and descend to the Aichelberg Loop Trail No. 86.
