Turn off the Ennstalstraße B320 at Pruggern (west) or Espang (east) in the direction of the Sölktäler Nature Park. In Stein a.d. Enns turn off towards Sölkpass. After approx. 23 km you come to the parking lot next to the Sölkpass road.

From the parking lot on the Sölkpaßstrasse near Kaltenbachalm you hike down to the Winkleralmkehre. Here you follow the alp road to the right above the Erzherzog-Johann-Hütte and walk in an arc through the cirque. You cross several ditches all the way to the Mahdfeldalm.

Once there, you can enjoy the magnificent view of Deneck and the Großsölktal. You then climb a little steeper down through the forest to the Winkleralm, which also invites you to stop off.
