Access to the starting point:
Drive through the Karavanke Tunnel into Austria and then along the motorway to Salzburg. Continue east on the B158 to the village of Strobl on the edge of the Wolfgangsee. Then follow the signs for St. Wolfgang (approx. 5 km) where you park. The parking places on the outskirts of the village are free of charge. Continue on foot towards the centre and from there parallel to the lake along Pilgergasse, Sternallee and Ried. After crossing the cog railway, follow Ried for approx. 100 m and then turn right uphill. As you approach the railway again, you will see signs for Schafberg, which you follow all the way to the top.

Path description:
Follow the asphalt road through the forest to the Aschinger farm, where signs point slightly left onto a wide macadam path. This also passes through the forest, and the view of the neighbouring mountains is getting better and better. Leave the forest for a while at mountain pasture Dorneralm, and the wide path then becomes a track just before crossing the forest border. At mountain pasture Schafbergalm, with a view of the Schafberg summit, join the dirt road from Winkl/Mondsee. Follow the signs. After crossing the railway (intermediate railway station), the path becomes a track which ascends steeply, first to the final railway station, then to the hut and the summit.
