As of April 2025, the area surrounding the forest has been largely deforested—it looks like a battlefield, and the forest roads are deeply damaged by heavy machinery...

Great view of Lake Tegernsee and the mountains beyond. A bench and several places to stretch your legs in the meadow.

A beautiful stream valley on the way to the Aueralm. The path is easy to walk. Especially in winter and when there is severe frost, there are very beautiful views. Many small tributaries and rivulets come down the slopes and flow into the stream.

Perfect alpine hut to take a break during a hike or even as the only hiking destination out of the valley. (Parking in the valley costs €10.00 as a day ticket.) If you are staying for a longer period of time, we recommend making a reservation.
