The Scharnitzgraben in the flower village of Pusterwald is a wonderful hiking area for a great panoramic hike to the Kleiner Hansl in the Murtal adventure region. Here many people have the opportunity to extend this hike, e.g. to the Großer Hansl, Jauriskampl, Gruber Hirnkogel.

The summer car park in Scharnitzgraben is relatively easy to reach. In the village of Möderbrugg, located on the B114, follow the road towards Pusterwald. Shortly after the small village, turn left into the Scharnitzgraben - the last few kilometres on a gravel road, past the gold panning plant to the car park.
You can park directly at the Wildalm car park (past the Scharnitz Kohler and the gold panning canal).

From the Scharnitzkohler car park along the forest path past the hunting lodge, the summer path to the Wildalmhütte. Follow the summer path westwards into the large cirque floor. From here either directly or slightly to the right over a ridge to the summit.
