Panoramic mountain hike in the Chiemgau Alps.
A demanding and very varied tour through steep Schrofen terrain with some quite difficult climbing passages. The Jägersteig is marked as a black mountain trail and the hike has an overall difficulty level of S2 to S3. Sure-footedness and some experience in alpine terrain are therefore required. However, there is the possibility of skipping the via ferrata section and running an easier variant. For that it is necessary to turn left at the fork in the forest after the Brander Alm into the direction of the Ostertal. In the summer months it is possible to stop at the Brander Alm.
Highlights:
- View from the summit to the Kaiser Mountains
