    From the Panoramarestaurant Hochoetz, walk down to the left towards Kühtaile Alm. Keep to the left, pass the "old Kühtaile Alm," and stay on the wide forest road. This winds through the forest down to Ochsengarten. Along the way, there are options for shortcuts, all of which are relatively steep, while the wide forest road gently descends toward Ochsengarten. 

    At the beginning of Ochsengarten, at the valley station of the Ochsengarten gondola lift, the path leaves the forest.  

    If you stay on the wide forest road, the path is also suitable for a stroller.
