Stony ascent to the Knorrhütte

Highlight • Other

The path to the Knorr Hut is quite rocky. Once you've reached it, you've earned something at the hut!

Beautiful hiking area up to the Zugspitze.

A rustic Alpine Club hut in the middle of a scree field in front of the Zugspitze. Here you have a beautiful view of the green Reintal, but also of the rocky peaks of the surrounding mountains. Kindly, you can also fill up your water supplies here. 😊

If you want to take a longer break here, you can eat in the small restaurant or stay overnight in the hut. A small break, whether short or long, should be planned in any case. 😉

View of the Reintal Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Knorrhütte is "guarded" by sheep :) Until then, the path coming from the valley is still easy to walk, after that it gets more challenging towards the summit.

Nice photo opportunity. Behind it you have a nice view of the Kleiner Wanner and the Hochwanner.

Gatterl Border Crossing

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Gatterl is a border crossing between Germany and Austria that is worth seeing and offers a great view of the Reintal, the Zugspitze and the surrounding mountain ranges. The path from the German side is bare, full of rubble and leads to the Knorrhütte. In the Austrian direction, after a short climb, there is a landscape of green mountain slopes, in which many small streams have their source. Both sides and the Gatterl are highly recommended!
