Panoramic circular route near Flintsbach am Inn, Bavaria.
The varied path leads comfortably up to the Petersberg with a steady incline. From there it goes on to the Hohe Asten. The way here is a little more demanding - partly exposed, but secured with steel ropes. It now goes over wider paths to the giant head. Here you can enjoy the view from the Wendelstein all the way into the Chiemgau Alps. Through mostly dense forest you go back down to the starting point in Flintsbach.
