Toter Mann summit

Highlight • Summit

Very nice panoramic view, start the hike from the Götschen car park (near Bischhofswiesen), then you at least know that you have done something to get to the dead man!

November 6, 2024,Rundtour vom Hotel Rehlegg zum Toten Mann

Starting point: Berghotel Rehlegg or the Neuhausenbrücke bus stop (bus 846). I went from the hotel up the gorge path to the Toten Mann (mountain 1392 m). You could stop off at the Hirschkaiser inn, near the Toten Mann. I went down via the Söldenköpfl and the brine pipeline path back to the hotel. Easy hike but a bit steep …

After the ascent to the Hochschwarzeck and the Toten Mann, which was …

Tackled a few meters of altitude today.
First ascent to the Zipfhäusl. From there on a wide forest path via Hochschwarzeck to Toten Mann
(1392m).
If you don't want to make the ascent, you can also take the Hirscheckbahn up. From the mountain station it is only a few minutes to the summit of the Toten Mann.
I descended 3 …
