From school in St. Jakob i. D., walk out of the valley after the bridge towards the valley station of the Skizentrum St. Jakob i. D.. At the cable car station, walk a short distance along the tarmac road towards Naturhotel Tandler. Just before the hotel, turn left onto the winter hiking trail along the Schwarzach, which leads back to the starting point.
