From the car park on the Scharflinger Höhe, we hike steeply uphill through the hillside forest for the first part. After the first section it becomes a little flatter and we come to a small meadow - the Kesselalm. We continue on the hiking trail between Kesselkopf and Butterwand until we come across a forest road again. From here we can already see the steep rock face of the Schafberg towering up, below which we still have to climb a few meters to reach the Schafbergalm.
