The starting point is the Explorer Hotel Garmisch in Farchant. From there, walk towards the Loisach Bridge. Once you reach the Loisach Bridge, do not cross the bridge, but turn right onto Esterbergerstraße towards the Werdenfelser Warmbad. Walk past the playground and then turn left into the forest.
First on a paved path, then on a forest path, you climb towards the Wank summit cross. This trail leads you gently uphill through the mountain forest with many switchbacks.
The forest path leads you to a forest road halfway up the climb. You walk briefly along the forest road until you reach a hiking trail on the right.
The hiking trail leads you up to the Wank summit cross, past the Sonnenalm, which, in addition to the Wankhaus, also offers a place to stop for refreshments.
Once you reach the top, a beautiful panoramic view of the Zugspitze and the surrounding mountains of Garmisch-Partenkirchen awaits you.
