Start the hike at the cable car in Scheffau and follow the yellow signs to Brandstadl KaiserWelt (trail no. 40). At the bridge, cross the gravel parking lot on the right behind the petrol station and then turn right again onto the asphalt path, which you follow uphill until you turn right onto a narrower path into the forest. Follow the hiking trail no. 40 past the Berggasthof Hochlechen to Neualm. From there, continue uphill and past the Tanzbodenalm on the right to the Brandstadl mountain restaurant. Once at the top, the "KaiserWelt" invites you into the forest adventure play area. A circular path leads you to the Brandstadl summit cross and the Jochstub'n lake. The valley can either be reached by cable car or on the panorama trail to Hartkaiser and from there on the path no. 1 via Schmiedalm, mountain restaurant Hochschwendt and the farmer's house "Egg" back to Scheffau.
