Walk from the village center in the direction of the Hartkaiserbahn valley station. At the turnoff to the valley station, however, continue walking straight uphill. Pass the "Bergdoktor-Praxis" and continue to the district Faistenbichl. Here the forest road branches off to the left in the direction of Rübezahl-Alm mountain inn. Hike uphill through the forest until you arrive at the rustic but cozy mountain inn. Culinary delicacies and a fantastic view of the Wilder Kaiser mountain range round off the hike. After an enjoyable rest, the hike continues comfortably downhill and back to the village center of Ellmau.
