Best trails near Hochsalwand

Demanding loop near Fischbachau, Bavaria. This loop leads through the picturesque mountain world to the east of Fischbachau in the Wendelstein group. It passes several idyllic alpine pastures and several wonderful views of the surrounding mountain peaks. Alpine foothills and the Chiemgau Alps can be seen from the Hochsalwand. If the tour is extended to the Lechnerkopf, the hike takes on more of a mountain tour character and scrambling is necessary. The start is at the "Oberes Jenbachtal"...

This hiking trail is very long and has a strenuous summit crossing. For the most part, the route contains well-traveled paths, with secured passages on the Hochsalwand and the Wendelstein summit. The view through the Jenbachtal makes it clear that the Wendelstein is the largest peak here. Its rocky, distinctive summit towers above all the wooded heights and is accordingly popular with hikers as a tour destination, despite the cogwheel and cable car.
