    Steep ascent and descent, but worth it with this wonderful view.

      Exhausting, no fear of heights, suitable shoes, then the ascent will work out

        The last piece demands everything from you again

          A steep ascent, so nothing for weak legs, but with a break it is fun and the view at several heights is worthwhile.

            View of the climb. Pre-summit from the Hocheck.

                Already on the ascent to the Watzmannhaus you can see the Watzmann several times

                  Very nicely laid out, partly rope insured path to the Watzmannhaus over stairs and bridges.

                    beautiful section just before the Watzmannhaus

                      Here it is again steeply uphill, but it is not far to the Watzmannhaus

                        Just a few more steps and you have reached the Watzmannhaus

                          Climb is definitely a hyperbole, technically there are no major challenges here. You should still watch your step.

                              If the weather is good, the climb up here will be rewarded with a fantastic view.

                                  It's an absolutely amazing feeling when you've managed to climb the Rinnkenndlsteig!

                                      The trails are well maintained! However, please only hike to the Watzmannhaus with good hiking boots and sufficient fitness.
