More information

From Schladming take provincial highway L722 (Rohrmoosstraße road) to Rohrmoos and at the roundabout continue straight on until you reach the cable-car Gipfelbahn Hochwurzen.

From the hiking trail head you pass by the sport shop "Schi Lenz" and take the forest road. You follow this dirt road for about 700 m to the turn-off of Karbach Walk. You continue on a forest road and then make your way across a meadow (which is a ski piste in winter). You continue on the same road, cross another "ski piste" and reach the trail junction with the fairy-tale trail. Here you make a right and head back to your starting point.
