- 3.9 (6)·Hard·6 mi·Est. 3.5–4 hrChallenging hike or running route in the Chiemgau Alps, Bavaria. Over 900 meters in altitude - and that over a distance of only 9 km. The ingenious vital Tour 8, one of the official running routes of the Chiemsee-Alpenland region, has it all. Of course, the well signposted route via the Maureralm to the Kampenwand can also be walked as a hike. First you walk on forest roads, then later on narrow and sometimes very steep paths - sturdy shoes and sure-footedness are therefore a...
- 5.0 (6)·Hard·8.1 mi·Est. 5.5–6 hrPanoramic hike in the Chiemgau Alps, Bavaria. A picturesque mountain hike that leads up to a rather unknown but very panoramic summit.

- 5.0 (1)·Hard·11.5 mi·Est. 6.5–7 hrThis route follows Stage 2 of the SalzAlpenSteig, climbing from Grassau to the Brachtalm on a noticeably more demanding day than the opening stage. From the valley, it rises through forest and alpine pasture into the Chiemgau Alps, passing Marquartstein Castle and the Schnappenkirche and repeatedly opening views back toward Lake Chiemsee, giving the route a clear sense of leaving the gentler foothills behind for more sustained mountain terrain. Overnight stays along this section are usually...
