Those who swing up to Brauneck by cable car can hardly miss it, the elegant rock spike that juts out between the trees: the Demelspitz, 1158 m. A little further back and higher on the slope is another rocky hump, also with a summit cross. But unlike the Demelspitz, which is only accessible to climbers, there is an ascent at Waxenstein for (sure-footed) mountain hikers. Although it is not totally free of rock contact here either, the actual difficulties are limited to the last few meters below the summit cross.
From the parking lot at Draxlhang, follow the wide path that rises alongside a long hedge next to the ski slope. It merges just below the Milchhäusl, 848 m, into a sandy road. It gains altitude quickly in a few broad loops, crossing several new lift routes. Just before the Kotalm, 1180 m, which lies in a green hollow, leave the road to the right and follow a wide track to the first hairpin bend. Immediately afterwards (no sign!) enter the forest and take a narrow but clearly visible trail diagonally up the steep slope towards the Waxenstein forepeak. Descend slightly, keeping right under the rocks, then climb up to the summit ridge and climb lightly to the left to the cross at Waxenstein, 1310 m. There is a view only on one side, to the east, across the Isar Valley onto the green ridges and grey limestone peaks between Rechelkopf and Guffert. Very beautiful is the hedge landscape beyond in the wide valley floor, a natural monument. Descent by the same route to the parking lot at
