In Pruggern or Espang, exit the B320 Ennstal federal highway and follow the L712 Steiner Straße to Stein an der Enns. In the town, turn onto the L704 Erzherzog-Johann-Straße into the Großsölk valley. Follow the L704 through the villages of Gatschberg, Feista, and Fleiß to Mößna. The nature park pavilion with a hiking portal is located at the southern entrance to the town.

From the town center of Mößna, follow the trail markings #902/909 slightly uphill into “Seifrieding”. After the road turns more south in a big right-hand bend, you reach a bridge where hiking trail #902/909 branches off left up into Mößnakar and to Gstemmerscharte.

Continue up the forest road and three hairpin bends, then the hiking trail branches off from the road. Shortly afterwards you cross the forest road once more and then walk steadily uphill on the north-eastern slope into Mößnakar. The path up to the Gstemmerscharte wind gap becomes a little steeper. From the gap you take path #911 south towards Bärneck. Along the ridge you finally reach the summit of the Großes Bärneck at 2,071 m. The way back is via the same route.
