How to get there?
From Rofanseilbahn top station follow the normal trail to Hochiss until you reach a bifurcation below Gschöllkopfes.

Then walk 50 m downhill and turn right (towards the North) and continue along the small valley. At a large rock, turn westwards and continue straight until you reach the forest. 45 min walk
