Demanding circular trail in the Bavarian Pre-Alps.
The circular trail combines history with panoramic views. The route begins with a steady climb past the Falkenstein castle ruins to Petersberg, where there is a historic church and a popular inn. From there, the trail continues to the Hohe Asten, Germany's highest year-round farm, before the steeper, rooty ascent to the summit of the Großer Riesenkopf begins.

The summit offers rewarding views of the Inn Valley and the Kaiser Mountains.
