If you arrive by car, drive from Viehhofen on the Glemmtaler Landesstraße L111 towards Saalbach-Hinterglemm. After about 10 km you will reach Hinterglemm. The entrance to the fairytale forest is right in front of the sports center, where you can also park. The journey takes approximately 15 minutes.

By bike you can take the same route as by car or use the cycle path along the Saalach, which is a little longer but has more scenic views. The cycle path takes you through meadows and forests, past small towns and farms. The cycle path is well signposted and suitable for all types of bicycles. The journey takes approximately 45 minutes.
If you like hiking, you can also reach the fairytale forest on foot. There are several hiking trails that lead from Viehhofen to the fairytale forest and take you through the forest, over bridges and along streams to your destination.
