Access to starting point:
Through the Karawanks Tunnel, we drive to Austria, and then we continue driving on the Tauern highway. Further, we drive through the Katschberg tunnel and later also the Tauern tunnel / Tauerntunnel. We follow the highway towards Salzburg (also Solnograd) only up to the exit for Bischofshofen, from where we continue driving on a four-lane road towards the already mentioned town. From Bischofshofen we follow the signs for Zell am See through the valley by the river Salzach. At the end of the settlement Taxenbach we turn towards the settlement Rauris. Further, we drive through the valley Raurisertal through the settlements Rauris and Wörth. We then follow the ascending road all the way to the large parking lot Lenzanger. In the last part, the road is subject to a toll (9€ - August 2013).

Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue by following the signs »Naturfreundehaus« on the road which is further closed for traffic. The road which immediately after the gate becomes a macadam at first leads through the forest and it brings us to a crossroad. Right slightly downwards leads the road towards the mountain pasture Grießwiesalm, and we continue slightly left on the road towards the mountain hut Naturfreundehaus.
The road then soon brings us out of the forest and leads us by the stream Scheidbach with beautiful views towards the summit Hoher Sonnblick. Here we come soon to the crossing where right over a bridge footpath 123 towards the notch Goldzechscharte and summit Hocharn branches off.
We still continue on the road and we are soon at a crossing again. Left leads the road towards the mountain hut Ammerhof, and we continue right and on a gentle road we soon come to the hut Naturfreundehaus.
