June 22, 2024,Hüttentour * Über Taubenstein 1693m 🦌 & Rotwand 1884m 🦅
Picture-book tour in the Mangfall Mountains / the pictures speak volumes, but a brief description:

We climbed the Taubenstein on all fours 🐐 (surefootedness and a head for heights are absolutely essential, as it is only a small, exposed summit plateau) and then came to the Rotwand via a wonderful panoramic path. The summit climb here also provided an incredible …

With the Alpine Club to the Rotwand. From Spitzingsee down towards Valepp, at the Waitzinger Alm the beautiful "Pfanngraben" trail begins, always along a stream until it branches off towards Kümpflingscharte.
The Rotwandhaus can soon be seen. We first have a snack on the summit.
Descent past the Lämpersberg to the Taubenstein, which we pay a visit to.
Refreshment at …

Initially on a wide forest road, this soon becomes a wonderful hiking trail that meanders alongside the rushing Pfanngraben with its many small waterfalls. Continue over alpine meadows up to the Rotwandhaus. From here it is about 20 minutes to the summit. Back at the Rotwandhaus, the descent is still on a beautiful path, which soon leads as a wide …

The arrival (and return journey) took place with public transport + D-Ticket the day before, with 2 nights in the youth hostel in Schliersee-Neuhaus (Josefsthal).
The ascent was first over the Josefstaler waterfalls - a great natural spectacle! …
