- 4.4 (31)·Hard·16.6 km·Est. 7–7.5 hrPopular hike from Marquartstein in the Bavarian Chiemgau. A beautiful route with great views from one of the most panoramic peaks in the Chiemgau Alps. The route follows a forest road to the Hochgernhaus and then continues on a narrow path. In spring it can be slippery when snowfields and thaw are encountered and just before the summit there is a short but steep grassy slope to overcome. An unrivalled view of Lake Chiemsee and the foothills of the Alps awaits from the summit. And along the...

- Moderate·4.8 km·Est. 2–2.5 hrLeisurely summit hike to the Hochgern This hike is ideal after an overnight stay at the Hochgernhaus.

- Hard·28.5 km·Est. 11.5–13 hrThis stage from Ruhpolding to Marquartstein includes two of the most important panoramic mountains in Bavaria: the Hochfelln and the Hochgern.
