If you start from the Zahmer Kaiser T-bar lift top station, walk left up into the forest. Shortly after the top station, there's another left turn. This is a dead-end road that offers a beautiful view of Lake Walchsee, but at the end there's a steep, unguarded drop of about 50 meters. Life-threatening! Extreme caution is advised here.

The approach to this hiking car park is the first challenge for those from the lowlands of Tyrol. Serpentines lead up the mountain, not always with guardrails.
