- Hard·10.8 mi·Est. 7.5–8.5 hrThis route is stage 20 of the Maximiliansweg, a long-distance trail through Germany, beginning at the Hochgernhaus and ending in Ruhpolding. The path climbs from the Hochgernhaus to the Hochgern summit, then descends through the alpine meadows of the Bischofsfellnalm and the forests of the Eschelmoos plane. It traverses the Weißgraben ravine up to a high ridge before making a steep ascent over rocky steps to the summit of the Hochfelln, concluding with a long descent via the Farnböden-Alm...
- Moderate·3 mi·Est. 2–2.5 hrLeisurely summit hike to the Hochgern This hike can ideally be started after an overnight stay in the Hochgernhaus. But even after the ascent to Marquartstein and a stopover on the sun terrace, the short section to the summit is worthwhile. Whether before or after the hike, you should not miss a cool drink on the sun terrace of the Hochgernhaus. With a bit of luck you can see a few marmots on the way to the summit.
