Leisurely 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.
