From here the road leads past the old age home to the Kalvarienberg mountain. The starting point is the Tourist Information in the main road 28 - between this House and the Cafe Grass Ecker, turn into the Fischergasse, go over the bridge of Dambach and follow the signs that will lead subsequently into the valley at the Salza along creek. In a turn arrived, they wander right towards "Patzl" on. In now narrowing Salzatal they follow the path along the stream in front of the cabin Salza hut you turn right and can choose between the ascending in sweeping forest road or a slightly steeper, well laid out path which crosses the forest road several times. Both paths to choose from, they lead to a forest saddle, from here they migrate either along the forest road or the trail, (the roads lead to several hundred meters along) - by fellings & a Hochwald. Walk along the trail you will reach the "homestead Great Little". From here you walk on a road that runs slightly uphill, towards the mountain station chair lift Wurbauerkogel where you can enjoy the magnificent panorama.
