June 2, 2023,Wanderung Wimbachgriesbrücke zum Watzmannhaus

Great tour to the Watzmannhaus. You should be sure-footed and have a good basic condition. We [all] had to do the last 100m via the winter trail, a small via ferrata, because the summer trail wasn't yet snow-free.

Today we had to climb up to the Watzmannhaus 1930m above sea level from Ramsau. The climb can actually be described as difficult. It started immediately with gradients of 20% to 28%. At the Mitterkaseralm 1408m above sea level we had a round of cold drinks. There, due to the children's level of exhaustion, we decided that I would climb …

Today we went again to the Berchtesgadener Land, more precisely to the Wimbachbrücke as a starting point with the destination Watzmannhaus on the Falzkopf. The route runs steeply left from the Wimbachbrücke car park up the mountain on a very good forest path in the direction of the Stubenalm and then on to the Mitterkaseralm. When you have passed the …
