Zimitzalm from/to Schachen

From the Schachen car park, follow a signpost "Pühringerhütte" and red markings first along a driveway and soon after to the right into the forest on a footpath uphill (signboard "Gößlalm"). You cross a forest road and continue following the markings towards Pühringerhütte. Behind another forest road, you continue uphill on a marked pull path diagonally to the right. Passing a junction downhill to the village of Gößl, you reach the first signpost "Zimitzalm". At the following fork, keep left towards Gößlalm and follow a green sign "hiking trail to Zimitzalm". You cross the access to a hunting lodge and shortly afterwards reach a forest road junction. Here you turn left onto a driveway (yellow sign "Zimitzalm"). Shortly after a sharp left curve, you leave this path again and follow the sign "Zimitzalm" onto a trail down to the right into the forest. Soon you reach the forest road again, follow it for a short distance to the right, and then turn left into the forest at a green sign. The downhill path soon leads into a driveway, which you follow left to Zimitzalm.

The return route is indicated by a green sign "Grundlsee" at a wooden bridge below the large meadow at Zimitzalm. You walk downhill on a wide alpine path, which soon crosses to the right side of the brook. Along the idyllic Zimitzbach, you descend to a left fork, where a short but steep descent leads down to a small viewing platform by a waterfall. Afterwards, you return to the main path and continue downhill. Finally, the alpine path leaves the Zimitzbach valley and forks behind a paved left curve. Here, the left and unmarked path branch leads directly down to the Schachen mill, where you turn left back to the starting point.
