There are different variants to reach the summit.
There are starting points in Hinterwildalpen and Gams.
For example you can start from Gamsforst and walk through the 'Rauchgraben' to the highest point of the Buchberg. From there hike to the rock with a cross on its top (Goßkreuz) and through the 'Goßgraben' back to the starting point.

Park your car at Thaller's farm in Gamsforst:

N 47°38.755
E 14°50.770

Follow the forestry street uphill to a barrier. Rightwards you can see a small path at

N 47°38.608
E 14°50.762

First a stream leads you through the 'Rauchgraben'.
Unfortunately the route is partial sparely marked so I advice to follow the numerious small stacks of stones up to

N 47°38.039
E 14°50.336

Now take the left path eastwards until you reach an alpine hut (Saurüssler-Alm).
From here you will reach the peak soon.

The cache is hidden a few metres underneath the cross of the summit at

N 47°37.844
E 14°51.380

Now follow the path until you reach the 'Goßkreuz'. (On the way you will pass another alpine hut called 'Gögal-Alm'.)
From the cross walk through the 'Goßgraben' back to the forestry street, which leads you to the farm where you started the tour.

Zum Abschluß der Wanderung konnte ich nach längerer Suche auch diese Dose entdecken. Das Spoilerbild war mir leider nicht sehr hilfreich, aber letztlich konnte ich mich im Logbuch verewigen. Und auch hier war der letzte Eintrag im August 2015 Überrascht. Nach einer zünftigen Jause haben wir uns wieder auf den Rückweg gemacht.
