There is a large car park to the right of the Rotwandbahn cable car valley station. Behind it lies the Hotel Mühlenhof, where a bridge crosses the stream. After crossing the bridge, you will find the start of trail 19. The trail initially leads steeply uphill to the right across open meadows, parallel to the winter hiking trail. It winds its way through several bends across the larch meadows that give the trail its name and continues towards Fischleintal valley. After a short section in the forest, the trail joins trail 17b. From there, you can either continue towards Fischleintalboden or follow the gently sloping trail along the stream back to the starting point.
