From the inn Präbichlerhof through the Grübl (3 steep steps) to the Rösselhals. Now you change to the Eisenerz side and cross a steep grassy slope. Soon you reach a fork in the path. Follow the path until you are below the rocks, from here the path leads up a few metres to a rocky head, secured by ladders. You reach the summit via several hairpin bends (only for sure-footed mountain hikers).
