Jägersteig (Eastern Chiemgau Alps)

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Black marked trail that requires alpine experience. Better to go when dry and better uphill. The trail through the Ostertal or the old cattle drive trail are ideal for going down - depending on which direction you are coming from.

Technically the easiest climb to the Hörndlwand. Can be done as a round if you take the Jägersteig on the ascent
