    The path to the chapel and Rachel is rocky and quite slippery;
    not a MTB trail. Sturdy shoes are recommended.

      06/25: More of an ascent, but also a descent. Via the Gfäll parking lot (take the Igelbus up from Spiegelau) over the Großer Arber to the Racheldiensthütte. The Waldschmidthaus is currently closed. Therefore, refreshments are only possible at the Racheldiensthütte. Up and down with the Igelbus. Every hour from the Racheldiensthütte. Approximately 10 km and 600 m elevation gain. Doable with a dog. Fitness and surefootedness are required.
