From the parking lot, we walk above the mountain hut, where the path splits, and we choose the right panorama path / Panoramaweg (left - Zirbenweg). We at first walk on the road which is ascending diagonally towards the right, and only a little after the left turn we leave it and we continue right in the direction of Zirbitzkogel. The path ahead leads us by the edge of the route of a ski slope, and when the ski slope ends, the path for some time flattens. We follow the marked path, which through a lane of a forest brings us on an ample pastures, where we quickly reach the viewpoint Herterhöhe, where there are situated panorama boards.
