Trail from Pfiffegg down to an intersection, where "Lower Steinwand" (the harder part of the trail starts) Alternatively you can turn right to get to a Fireroad.

Entrance on top can be a bit hidden - just stay right in the meadows until you get to a cow gate. Trail is relatively fast, with some fun rooty and rocky section in between.
