The starting point for this really nice and peaceful hike to the Toblacher Pfannhorn is the pilgrimage town of Kalkstein. Slightly climbing on a gravel trail at first up to the Alfenalm, continuing up to the Ruschletalm (1915 m). Continue on a trouble-free footpath in the head of the valley and across the flower-filled slopes of the Alfneralm. Then in a westerly direction steep up to the Pfanntörl (2508 m).
