We park right from the castle on a parking lot by the edge of the forest.

Fom the end of the parking lot, we continue right towards the northeast, where we cross the fence, and after the fence we soon go left on a footpath which ascends through vineyard. Higher the vineyard ends and in few steps we reach the peak Kapfensteiner Kogel, from which a view opens up a little.
From the top, we continue straight and we descend a little, and from the right joins the cart track which a little after the fence we left.
