From the Festkoglbahn over the Ferwall bridge, gently descending along the alpine rose slopes to the hamlet of Königsrain. Just before, cross the street and take the path down to the Ötztaler Ache, continue over the Königsbach and to the old mill. Ascending to the right, cross the state road and go up opposite to the old country house. The shady, fairly level forest path leads above the districts Angern and Pill on the right side of the valley to the romantic Pillersee.
The Pillersee is privately owned and fenced off. Please respect the barrier.
