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.

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