Nesslauer Alm

Highlight • Mountain Hut

A truly beautiful hike, and the Glücksgrotte (Lucky Grotto) at the beginning is definitely worth a visit. There's delicious food and drinks at the top of the mountain pasture.

August 5, 2025,Nesslauer Alm – Thoraualm Runde von Ruhpolding
It was an exceptionally beautiful route, varied and idyllic.

Showing Translation

The crossing from the Thoraualm to the Nesslaueralm is steep and very wet.
Good shoes absolutely necessary ⛰
