From the parking lot in Köfels, you walk through the village, past the sawmill, and further into the forest. From there, follow the signs to Wurzbergalm. You walk on a flat forest road, then a bit uphill, and then straight on through the forest again. At a fork in the path, you come across a hunting hut, where you follow the wide hiking trail to the right. Finally, it goes slightly downhill to the already visible Wurzbergalm.
