- 4.6 (79)·Hard·7.4 kmPopular mountain hike in Bavaria. This route leads via the Bayerwald, the Sonnbergalm, and the Tegernseer Hütte up to the peaks of the Roßstein and Buchstein. This hiking route should not be underestimated. Even if the path to the rocks of the summit massif does not show any particular difficulties, the ascent to the two summits, especially to the Buchstein, requires sure-footedness and a head for heights. The steep path through the forest to the Sonnbergalm does not yet give you an idea of...
