Gasthof Donner or Gasthof Kölblwirt

From Gasthof Donner, follow the road into the valley; after the hairpin bends, the marked sunny side trail leads towards the mountain. In the Kaltenbachgraben, where the forest road ends, we descend over the wooded mountain ridge and walk across meadows to the Kölblwirt inn.

You should also be well prepared for changeable weather.

Packing your backpack correctly makes things much easier:
Pack heavy items first. Your water bottle should always be easily accessible in a side pocket. Everything you need frequently, such as sunglasses, your smartphone, or hiking map, should be packed on top.

Also visit the Johnsbach parish church with the historic mountaineers' cemetery!
