This hike is not suitable for absolute beginners as having some surefootedness is a must. There are a few somewhat exposed sections and possibly a bit of scrambling but everything really challenging can be skipped or circumvented. You should be able to keep a minimum pace of 350 m of gain per hour.

Let’s enjoy together one of the most beautiful and diverse hikes in the Bayrischzell area! We start from Geitau and hike over to Birkenstein where we have a quick peek inside lush Birkenstein chapel. From there we follow the stream up to Breitensteinfensterl and Breitenstein’s two peaks. After that we can put in a quick refreshment stop at Hubertushütte. From there on we cover several minor peaks before hiking down to Osterhofen.

The plan is to take the 4pm train back to Munich.

Half of the hike is through shadowy woods, the other half is exposed to the sun.

What to bring:

  • water and food for the whole day (2L+ of water recommended)
  • proper hiking shoes (ankle covering recommended)
  • hiking poles (if you know how to use them)
  • sun and rain/wind protection
  • small towel, there’s a high chance we’ll cool our feet in one of the streams or the Kneippbecken in Osterhofen
  • cash for the hut
  • good mood 🙂

Good to know

Hi everybody, weather looks fine for next weekend. Please join the WhatsApp group https://chat.whatsapp.com/EtnKMFjGG0W1AlEP3LEvyN I’m willing to bump up the group size a bit, so everyone who’s really determined to come gets a spot. I will do so end of the week. If you already know you’ll have other plans, please unjoin timely.

If you want to repeat this hike, please note: The descent from Spitzingscheibe is a pathless muddy wet grass slope, better avoid it and take the path back to Geitau. This adds 1.5 km but saves at least 1 hour of time and a lot of trouble.
