Mooslahnerkopf Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Since there are not even any signs pointing to the summit on the gravel path (despite an extra bicycle parking space in front of the junction), you can usually enjoy the view to yourself here.

October 1, 2023,Grünstein - Kührointalm - Mooslahnerkopf - Archenkanzel ⛰️☀️

Today a long hike first to Grünstein, then over the Kührointalm to the Mooslahnerkopf summit and then a short hike to the Archenkanzel with a view of the Königsee. Afterwards we had a very tasty stop at the Kührointalm 😋, before heading back down to the car park.

A bit uncomfortable to walk in wet conditions after Kühroint. But the climb is worth it with the very nice views and depths!
