- 4.6 (54)·Hard·11.3 km·Est. 4.5–5 hrPopular hike to the summit of the Hochfelln, Bavaria. This mountain hike is well known and a very popular half-day tour.

However, the wonderful view of the "Bavarian Sea"...

- 4.8 (5)·Hard·16.1 km·Est. 6.5–7 hrThis route follows Stage 4 of the SalzAlpenSteig, continuing from Bergen to Ruhpolding through the Hochfelln area and the upper Chiemgau. High above Bergen, it crosses open alpine meadows, lighter forest, and mountain terrain shaped by the Thorau ravine before gradually easing down toward Ruhpolding, giving the day more of a long scenic descent than a classic climbing stage while still staying firmly in alpine country.
