Route description:
From the Schwabble parking lot, first hike up through the forest on trail AV722. The path leads along the brook upwards. Soon it becomes steeper, the path winds steeply upwards in many switchbacks. Here you come very close to the waterfall, which falls here over the steep step to be overcome. Soon you have made it, you reach the outlet of the Tappenkarsee and hike the last few minutes along the western shore to the rustic Tappenkarseealm.
Not far away is also the Tappenkarsee hut, which you can also visit in a nice detour.
