Route Information

The detour which starts at 1.75km mark is narrow and slippery in icy conditions. Having crampons or at least spikes is a good idea for this part during winter. 

Rauschberg is a 1645 m high mountain in Chiemgau alps, which is famous for the presence of various sculptures at the peak, most notably 6 meters tall Adam's hand.

There is a cable car going to Rauschberghaus, so it is always quite crowded unless the cable car is closed for some reason.

The route goes along forest road in the beginning, and is very well marked with signposts at every bifurcation. The route in this part has pretty gentle slope, but some shortcuts can be quite steep. Once the forest part is over, the route passes by a few steep rocks on the side, which could make it prone to avalanches.

The final part before the Rauschberhaus is a wide road, from which the Adam's hand is already visible. The route is a bit steep here.

By public transport: The easiest way to reach there is to take the Meridian train towards Salzburg. Then, change at Traunstein and take the train to Ruhpoling. Finally take the Bus 9506 to Ashcenau, Ruhpoling. The cheapest option is to buy Bayern ticket which is valid in the regional trains and buses in Bavaria. For the return, we need to take the bus 9506 from Fritz am sand to Ruhpoling. 

By car: Drive towards Froschsee 15, 83324 Ruhpolding, you will find a hiking parking lot at the end of the road.  You can also navigate using Google maps

Rauschberghaus: open whole year except inspection time (approx. mid November to mid December).
