    From the Mure parking lot, start towards the VIVEA Health Hotel and turn left before the cemetery. There, follow the paved path through the meadows until you reach the foot of the mountain. Then the path leads up in switchbacks to Farst and the Farst snack station. A fascinating panorama and warm hospitality are the reward for the effort of the ascent.
