Hiking

Anyone who has always wanted to cross borders when hiking is just right with the tightrope walk on the Dürrnbachhorn, because this is where the Bavarian-Austrian border runs. Surefootedness, stamina and a head for heights are rewarded with a wonderful panoramic view.

Day 2 of our hike and bike weekend. A really nice hike from the Winkelmoos Alm over the ridge and back😍

If only the chairlift weren't so expensive. But it's better to save money and take the climb. As soon as you leave the tarmac, you know it's getting steep. From the cable car's mountain station, the scree path winds its way up step by step through the mountain pines. Then, suddenly, you're standing in front of the summit cross. If …

If you want a beautiful hike, you've come to the right place. Everything is on offer. Moderate difficulty. The climb... no problem for experienced hikers... but for those who aren't, it's a sweaty climb. But you'll be rewarded with a superb view.

Dreamlike weather, super beautiful view and riding the old chairlift is simply a 'must'. The ridge is probably not for everyone. And the descent is tough on the knees 🙃but when there's Kaiserschmarrn waiting at the end... everything is easy😉🍀✨💫
