Popular circular route in Chiemgau, Bavaria.
The cable car takes you very comfortably to the starting point of the high-altitude trails. At the mountain station there is a sensational view of the mighty chain of the Central Alps.
Due to its prominent summit, the Kampenwand is extremely well-known and can be spotted from afar. A great view can be expected here, which invites you to linger. The descent is then on an easy path and climb over the Schlechtenberg Alm and the Gori-Alm.
In any case, one of the rustic alpine pastures invites you to linger (note the opening times).
