Mountain trail to the Hochstaufen summit

Highlight • Trail

This is where the trail to the Reichenhaller Haus and the Hochstaufen summit (1,771 meters) starts. A really nice path, for which you should be sure-footed and not afraid of heights.

Ascent to Hochstaufen

Highlight • Climb

Beautiful narrow mountain path up towards Reichenhaller Haus and the Hochstaufen... again and again there are wonderful views of the surrounding mountains and the pretty peaks of the Alps

There's hardly a more beautiful hut in this area than the Reichenhaller Haus. Despite the arduous climb and the deprivation of washing due to a lack of water, you'll be rewarded with one of the most beautiful views anywhere.

The Hochstaufen (1,771 meters) is a striking rocky mountain and a well-known eye-catcher, rising between Bad Reichenhall, Piding, and Anger (Berchtesgadener Land).

July 6, 2024,Reichenhaller Haus nach Bad Reichenhall Hbf

Today we descended from Hochstaufen to Bad Reichenhall. Due to the fantastic weather and the magnificent view of the Alps, we took it easy and really enjoyed the descent, especially the upper part. Now we're taking the bus back to Inzell.

Short vacation in Bad Reichenhall ⛰️🥾 did a mountain hike, we were out from about 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., with many breaks, 🐌 we didn't go that fast 🙈

May 7, 2023,Hochstaufen ab Nonntal

Today in really good weather and again after 10 years on the Hochstaufen. The weather held up too, but the tour is quite a challenge.... 1200 m altitude are also "a Hatscher". The Reichenhaller house was also open, so there was at least a decent snack upstairs.
PS The time of the tour recorded by Komoot is not correct - …

Something is wrong with the times. 3.5h and more than 6h break?

Well... But it was nice!

June 28, 2024,Berchtesgaden, Steinerne-Jäger-Steig – Gipfel Hochstaufen, mit Free-Solo Klettereinlagen

Be careful, this is definitely not just a hiking trail. Absolute sure-footedness and a head for heights are a basic requirement. You have to climb vertical rock in places without rope or safety equipment and it goes down 1000 to 1200m. But that only applies to the Steinerne-Jäger-Steig, which goes up on the right in the picture; the descent on …
