A nice but also exhausting tour. You will be rewarded with a great view of Lake Forggensee and the surrounding area. I had my two boys Quinn and Hugo with me, they had a lot to look at 🤗 At the starting point there is a relatively large parking lot that is free of charge. 👍

First tour after recovering from corona from the beginning of December. There is a little lack of conditions, but the delicious 😋 meal in the turning hut was the reward. 😉

May 20, 2024,Bänke mit Blick zum Forggensee – Drehkopfhütte- Rohrkophütte

The first excursion in 2024. Section 1 was more of a tarmac road, then a wide gravel path to the Rohrkopfhütte and from the Drehkopfhütte there was a narrow Tranpel stream path to the highest point. The descent was then rather unspectacular.

October 30, 2022,Zum Abschluss an die Rohrkopfhütte, dann zur Drehhütte und hoch zur Mühlberger Älpele

At the end of our short vacation we started today directly from the campsite ⛺️ to the Rohrkopfhütte. From there it went on to the Drehhütte and then partly steeply uphill to the Mühlenberger Älpele
