Gorgeous, challenging loop near Chiemsee, Bavaria, Germany
This route leads into the beautiful, contrasting landscape between the Chiemgau and the Kampenwand. In winter, skiers also have fun here, which the lifts already indicate. Good hiking equipment and sure-footedness are required. A nice start to the summit is also possible with the cable car to the mountain station and then along the impressive panorama trail. Arriving at the Gorialm, the Alm view up to the Kampenwand and down to the Chiemsee is an unforgettable impression! This wall with its multi-pronged bergstock in the rock massif shows what wonders nature is capable of and underlines the uniqueness of this area. There are numerous alpine pastures that invite you to take a break.
