- 4.0 (2)·Hard·17.9 km·Est. 7–7.5 hrVery nice, quiet hike with lots of solitude and beautiful landscapes. It can happen that many farmers are on their way to drive off sheep that have been grazing wildly around the Hirschberg all summer. The summit area can therefore be heavily overcrowded on the paths.
- 4.3 (3)·Hard·8.5 kmThe Zundereck is located on the ridge bordering the Kistenkar to the west. The tour requires good orientation skills in steep alpine terrain, but rewards you with impressive views of the Pfrühlmoos to the west below and the Kistenkar to the east below. Although the tour is not pathless, the existing paths lead through terrain that can be dangerous in terms of falling or slipping, so the hike is rated T4 and should only be undertaken by experienced hikers.
- 4.1 (3)·Hard·41.8 km·Est. 12.5–13.5 hrThis tour includes the "difficult ascent to Windwurfeck" (not really worthwhile). Long ascent to the three marks with beautiful views of the Murnauer Moos, steep descent to Unterammergau, along the Ammer via Oberammergau back up to the Bärenbadflecken. The final downhill trail that follows is mostly rideable.
