The wide forest road leads partly through the forest, finally through alpine meadows to the rustic Nissl Alm.
Variant 2: The path starts directly from the town center. Over the Fischbachbrücke you reach the holiday home "Tiroler Hütte". Here begins the very steep shortcut path. It first leads through shady forest, then through alpine meadows to Nissl Alm.
