You start at the parking lot at Etrachsee and walk along the forest road to the Schöttelhütte. Here you turn right through the forest and come to a ditch, which you follow to the upper Schöttelhütte. After a short flat section, you climb steeply uphill on a ridge towards Grübelsee. Before the Grübelsee, keep left and come to a gently sloping plateau above two rocks. From here you get to the summit. The descent is initially like the ascent. From the level of the Grübelsee you do not descend to the Obere Schöttelhütte, but rather in a ditch to the west of it, which is initially steep and then becomes flatter until you reach the forest road. Follow the forest road to the Etrachsee car park.

Note: From the Schöttelhütte you should not climb towards Dürrnberg, even if the south-facing slopes up there are tempting - a wildlife sanctuary!
