After the hotel turn left and walk uphill through the meadow and past the „Stammgästewald” (regular Alpbach guests are honoured by the planting of a tree) and on to „Hausberg“. At the last farm turn right and follow the A23 and the signs for „Steinweg“. The path leads uphill direction „Hösl“ Saddle. Enjoy the sweeping views from the new platform!

Below the Hösl Saddle and the Hösl chapel follow the path downhill towards Alpbach. After approx. 300 m, at the huts, leave the forest track and turn right onto the A23 and the Blaikensteig.
