The highest point of the tour is 935 m above sea level, so it is well suited as a spring or late autumn tour. On the ascent just before the Kesselbergsattel near Urfeld there is a small carrying passage. The section directly on the B11 is of course very busy when the weather is nice! It is also essential to take the loop around the Walchensee peninsula - the color of the lake is gigantic here!
- 4.3 (3)·Hard·5.3 miThe Zundereck is located on the ridge that bounds the Kistenkar to the west. The tour requires good orientation skills in steep alpine terrain, but rewards with impressive views of the Pfrühlmoos below in the west and the Kistenkar below to the east. Although the tour is not pathless, the existing climbs lead through terrain that is sometimes at risk of falling or slipping, so the hike is to be rated as T4 and should only be done by experienced hikers.
