- 4.8 (25)·Hard·14.2 km·Est. 7–8 hrAlpine circular route in the Berchtesgaden Alps biosphere region, Bavaria. The Hochstaufen is one of the most striking mountain peaks around Bad Reichenhall. The 1771 m high rocky peak can be seen from afar. This challenging hike leads over this very mountain. For several kilometres, the trail leads above the tree line on partly stony paths. Sun protection and sturdy shoes are therefore very important. In summer, it is worth stopping off at the Reichenhaller Haus. Highlights of the hike: -...
- 4.9 (21)·Hard·9.8 km·Est. 5.5–6.5 hrChallenging hike in the Chiemgau Alps A beautiful but quite strenuous hike. It leads over the Steinernen Jäger to the Hohenstaufen, where the Reichenhallerhaus or Staufenhaus is literally clinging to the rocks of the Hochstaufen.

The first 5 km are almost constantly uphill until you finally reach the Reichenhaller Haus just below the summit of the Hochstaufen. This is literally clinging to the rock of the Hohenstaufen. A truly breathtaking Alpine panorama opens up from here and...
- 4.3 (5)·Hard·15 km·Est. 6.5–7 hrChallenging hike in the Chiemgau Alps, Bavaria. Up to the Frillensee, this hike is very relaxed: a well-developed trail that runs quite flat and is also suitable for bicycles. From the Frillensee, however, you gradually gain altitude. In particular, the final ascent to the Hochstaufen should not be underestimated: Not only are sure-footedness and good physical fitness required here, but also a head for heights due to the exposed nature of the climb and various sections with ropes and wooden...
