The shortest way to the summit leads from the Kalchenbach car park along the forest on an easy-to-walk hiking trail, occasionally overgrown by tree roots, the challenging ascent is rewarded with a gigantic view

The sunrise on the Grünten is always a wonderful experience 🌄

Hiking

A short, challenging climb on a wide gravel path. A view of the Grüntenhütte and, in the distance, Grüntensee.
