Roadbook
From the parking lot, you follow a partly steep forest road eastward up to the Ernstalm. From there, the path leads gently without incline to the Twenger Alm. Now, turn left onto a well-marked and well-trodden hiking trail, which can be quite wet in places. Initially with moderate incline, then increasingly steeper, it goes up to the Twenger Almsee. From there, a trail leads left from the lake up to the summit cross of the Gollitschspitz.
