From the parish church in the Gsiesertal Valley – Pichl (1260 m) take the access road directly and then the road that branches off to the right across grassy slopes slightly uphill to Henzing. On farm access roads along slopes continue toward the valley exit to the Innerförrer and Ausserförrer farms, then in a westerly direction across meadows and woods, crossing the Mahr stream, to Wiesen in Taisten (1219 m) and descend briefly to the Brückenwirt (1190 m, no refreshment facilities) on the Gsiesertal Valley road. Then cross the Gsieserbach brook over the nearby bridge and continuously follow the sign "Talblickweg" on a path at the foot of the mountain into the interior of the valley to the Sinner farms (1194 m) and Durnwald (refreshment possibility), there turn left again and on the cross road continue northward over the brook to the main road (there is the so-called "Greiter Stöckl" there). Then turn right slightly uphill to return to the Parish Church of Pichl.
