The toll booth is located approximately 4 km before the Eschachalm. The last free parking space is located directly before the toll booth on the right. Passing the toll booth (at Postlehen) and thus entering the toll road costs €7 (€5 with the Summer Card). Three parking spaces follow the route to the Eschachalm. Parking space 1 at Wehrhofalm is approximately 4 km away, parking space 2 at Hopfriesen is approximately 2 km away, and parking space 3 is directly at the Eschachalm. Important: Parking fees are included in the toll. The receipt serves as a parking ticket and must be displayed visibly behind the parking window.
