Getting There

Walking
From the parking area at the Elmaubach, follow the well-maintained forest road (Fürstenweg) into the Elmaubach valley. After about 3.4 kilometers, you'll reach a wood storage area on a meadow. Shortly before the road descends, an unmarked path branches off to the right, leading into the forest. This path ascends steadily, eventually leading to the Kuchelberg-Diensthütte. From the hut, a steeper trail leads to the Kuchelbergspitze. There are no fees for accessing the trail.
