From the parking of the chairlift "Bergbahn Pillersee / Buchensteinwand" you walk westward, pass the Hotel Kitzspitz and take the second way left towards the alpine hut "Kröpflstüberl". Follow the forest road and than take the walking path on the left via the Kröpflalm to the top of Buchensteinwand (steep ascent under the charilift).
