ヘーグルヴェルター湖のおすすめ登山＆山歩きルート

While it would have been good if you hadn't been in a cloud

Beautiful chapel you should look at when you are up there

The Reichenhaller Haus is located directly below the summit of the Hochstaufen mountain at approximately 1,750 meters and is a popular stop for hikers and via ferrata climbers. The Alpine Club hut offers a cozy atmosphere, simple overnight accommodations, and a wonderful sun terrace with impressive views over Bad Reichenhall, the Salzach Valley, and as far as Lake Chiemsee. Due to its exposed location, the Reichenhaller Haus is only accessible on foot—either via various mountain trails or the challenging Pidinger Klettersteig (via ferrata). It serves many mountaineers as a rest stop before the final ascent to the summit or as the destination of a scenic day tour.

The Staufen Chapel stands not far from the summit of the Hochstaufen at an elevation of approximately 1,770 meters and is one of the highest chapels in the Berchtesgadener Land region. It was built in memory of mountaineers who died in mountain accidents and offers a quiet place of contemplation amidst the impressive mountain scenery. The small stone chapel blends harmoniously into the rocky landscape and is a popular destination for hikers and climbers who wish to pause for a moment at the summit of the Hochstaufen. On a clear day, a magnificent view opens up from here over the Saalach Valley to the distant peaks of the Central Alps.

The Pidinger Klettersteig, also known as the Hochstaufen Klettersteig, is one of the most challenging and popular via ferratas in the Berchtesgaden Alps. It leads to the Hochstaufen (1,771 m), the distinctive local mountain of the municipality of Piding in Bavaria, and offers spectacular views over the Salzach Valley, Lake Chiemsee, and deep into the Alps. The starting point is above the Steiner Alm and can be reached after a steep ascent of approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. The actual via ferrata is approximately 800 meters in elevation and leads over steep rock faces, exposed ridge passages, and airy traverses to the summit. The difficulty is predominantly in the C/D range, with some sections even reaching difficulty level E – thus, the climb is aimed exclusively at experienced and sure-footed mountaineers with very good fitness and complete via ferrata equipment. Characteristic of the Pidinger Klettersteig are its long total ascent time (6–8 hours) and its continuous exposure, making it a true alpine adventure. Those who reach the summit are rewarded with a magnificent panorama – on a clear day, the view stretches from the Watzmann to the Kaiser Mountains.

A challenging hiking trail also leads from the Steiner Alm to the Hochstaufen. Along with the standard route from the Padinger Alm, the ascent via the Steiner Alm is one of the easier routes up the Hochstaufen. However, several cable-secured sections make the trail on the north side of the Hochstaufen more challenging than the ascent on the south side. A minimum level of surefootedness is required. From the tree line, you can enjoy the interesting rocky scenery as well as beautiful views of the Chiemgau region with Lake Chiemsee and the Salzburger Land.

Great view at the Stoißer Alm

A very well-developed via ferrata that demands considerable stamina and strength. Thankfully, the northern exposure means the upper section is climbed in the shade at midday. Climbing experience and/or considerable strength are required in many places. The upper section is technically slightly more difficult than the entry wall, but the last 300 meters of elevation are climbed practically vertically with few rest stops. Especially for shorter people, hanging off is very difficult in many places. A rest loop is therefore essential.
