Hotel Bergkristall or in the village

Starting at the Hotel Bergkristall in Wildalpen, a road leads between the official houses of the town of Vienna. Then a gravel path (path98)follows above the Salza and a field path comes, numerous benches invites us to take a rest. The path turns into a steep track and there is a good vantage point before it goes downhill again. We continue on an ÖBF forest road (Krimpenbach) and we will reach the Hochschwab Landesstrasse B 24 in Fischerau.
