At the beginning, the trail climbs steeply over about 300 steps of the Kaiseraufsteig into the Kaisertal. Once you reach the top, the path continues to climb gently until you reach the Ritzau Alm turn-off. Follow the signs and turn left up the steep path. Once you reach the Ritzau Alm, you walk towards Hinterkaiserhof and from there on into the rear Kaisertal until you reach the Hans Berger Haus. The way back leads along the Kaisertalweg back to the Kaiseraufstieg.
