The entrance and parking lot to the theme trail is located at a somewhat inconspicuous driveway on the left opposite the Kleinpöltzl farm below the village of St. Wolfgang.

From the parking lot, a forest road about 500 m long leads to the alpine rock garden and further to the maple platform. From here a forest path leads over some wooden footbridges and wooden bridges over the Granitzenbach. Several adventure stations invite you to join in. The trail ends at the Schaumühle mill.

The hike continues on the road towards St. Wolfgang. Follow the road Mönchegg, turn right at the parish church St. Wolfgang and follow the road Mönchegg further.
