From Mariazell on the B20 to Gußwerk, here turn right in the direction of Wildalpen on the B24 to Greith, at km 11 turn right in the direction of Dürradmer approx. 10 min up to the parking lot Fangbrücke.
We can park directly in Dürradmer, from Dürradmer we follow the markings on the forest road through the forest and reach a barrier.
