At the end of the hamlet Neudorf you walk down to the "Fundus bridge", cross this and turn left and walk along the Ötztaler Ache further to Grantau. Now you hike first along the road, then through the forest until you finally reach Köfels. A stop at the Alpengasthof Köfels or in the Jausenstation Edelweiß, where you can take a break and relax, is definitely worthwhile. Köfels is also accessible by car.
