At the fork in the trail, continue straight ahead uphill, passing a feeding hut and the Ysperbrunnen until you reach the Birkenkreuz, here, turn left uphill; after about 300 m, you can take a detour to the Katzenstein (to the right), then return and continue straight ahead; at the next fork, turn left toward the Kl. Peilstein – summit cross.

A1, Ybbs exit – Persenbeug Danube Bridge – take the B 3 toward Vienna to Marbach an der Donau – turn left here toward Maria Taferl and continue to Münichreith.
