The way 456 is (as all the ways/paths maintained by the Sektion)
marked with little red-white-red metal plates signed with the
registration number of the way. The way nr. 456 is the most
beautiful direct access to the mountain hut. It leads at first
through the Lainbach-valley with its special geologically
interesting landscape. Within 2 1/2 hrs hiking-time you will have
reached the hut without problems. ( see also page "Torrent-teaching-path"). You cannot go wrong
because of the marking labels.
One starts at "Gschwendt", a part-region of Benediktbeuern,
directly beside the big swimming pool "Alpenwarmbad". There and
also later are boards which show the total course of the tour. In
front of the bridge to the parking place of the Alpenwarmbad one
turns left and follows the Lainbach upstreams to the next bigger
bridge which will be passed. Now at the other side of the brook one
follows the way along the brook. On the way to the private owned
"Söldneralm" which is passed about 45 minutes later you will
find a serie of boards which shows information and pictures about
the work necessary to cope with that torrent. Up to now the way
climbed up very smoothly. Having passed a small little bridge the
way will be a bit steeper but this lasts only about 15 - 20
minutes. Now again one follows broad smoothly climbing ways used by
the woodworkers. After about 2 hrs since starting you will reach
the base station of the ropeway used to supply the hut. Now it
lasts only about 30 minutes and you will reach the hut on a winding
path.
