The Hochstaufen (1,771 meters) is a striking rocky mountain and a well-known eye-catcher, rising between Bad Reichenhall, Piding, and Anger (Berchtesgadener Land).

A great summit with a great view! There are many different trails up, ranging from easy to difficult. The view is beautiful, and there is a mountain hut below the summit.

Many paths lead to the Hochstaufen summit. No matter which way you get to the summit: you will be rewarded for your arduous ascent with a great view in all directions. Enjoy the view of Watzmann and Untersberg. Take a look at Bad Reichenhall from above and look over the flat land to Waginger See and Chiemsee.

In the immediate vicinity you will see Zwiesel and Gamsknogel, who are already waiting for your next adventure! But first you can fortify yourself in the Staufenhaus. More information at: dav-badreichenhall.de/huetten-kletteranlagen/staufenhaus

View from the Hochstaufen plateau towards Zwiesel.

Wonderful all-round view and very close to the Reichenhaller Haus,
for the purpose of 'stopping off'.

One of the most beautiful hikes on the edge of the Alps, a wonderful way to the top. Nice view.

Wonderful mountain panorama from the Berchtesgaden Alps with Hochkönig, Watzmann, Hochkalter and Reiteralpe, over Großvenediger, the Loferer, and many more. The view down into the valley to Bad Reichnhall is also magnificent. From the Reichenhaller Haus, the ascent to the summit is only a very short distance. One of the most beautiful mountains in the German Alps.

There is also a challenging via ferrata high. (Pidinger via ferrata)

The summit offers an incredible 360 degree panorama of the mountains and, for example, Bad Reichenhall. Now it's not far to the Reichenhaller Haus hut.

A lovely panoramic summit that can be reached via several routes with varying levels of difficulty... from the summit you have a wonderful 360° view of the surrounding mountains

Beautiful view. Did you make it to the Niebuhr Hut? Then there are only a few more steps to the summit cross. It's worth running up.

Fantastic view of Bad Reichenhall. From above you can also see the city of Salzburg and even the Chiemsee.

Exceeding it is a good idea, as there are several ways to the top.

Fantastic view of Bad Reichenhall and the surrounding mountains. In good weather, a view of Salzburg and Lake Chiemsee is possible.

The long climb is rewarded with a magnificent panoramic view. In clear weather, the view must be indescribably beautiful.
