Roadbook
From the Gimbachkaskaden parking lot east of the Gimbach to the forest road and a beautiful meadow. Immediately at the end of the meadow, the trail branches off to the northeast or east. You will reach the forest road again, which you leave shortly before reaching the end of the valley heading east. Pass north of H. Rehstatt; initially fairly steep and then more traversing through the forest to the new forester's lodge. Beautiful view.
Continue through the open forest to the crossing into the scree. After the scree ca. 20 meters in easy climbing (1) over the rock step and further to the almost dilapidated Karl-Emil hunting hut.

Continuing: on the marked hiking trail northeast to Grünalmkogel.
