To the Zellerhütte from the hairpin bend before Vorderstoder
Ascent from a not crowded parking lot, initially not too steep, mostly in the forest to the viewing terrace of the Zellerhütte.
This path starts from the parking lot at the hairpin bend (Rotbucher) and crosses rather than climbs steeply until just below the hut. Then it goes quite steeply uphill. For that, you are rewarded with a great view.
Author’s recommendation
The path is for everyone who is not looking for the fastest way but also has more time.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.

Roadbook
From the parking lot, cross the street at a clearly visible spot and follow a street for a few meters until a path leads right into the forest. From there, go upwards again onto a gravel road and shortly before a clearing (farmstead). Then cross this meadow area and go upwards into the forest again. Then search through the maze of streets and paths, watch out for the yellow arrows of the Alpenverein Windischgarsten. Shortly before the end of the last gravel road, then switch to a path that leads traversing to the Zellerhütte.
