Jägersteig (Eastern Chiemgau Alps)

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Black marked trail that requires alpine experience. Better to go when dry and better uphill. The trail through the Ostertal or the old cattle drive trail are ideal for going down - depending on which direction you are coming from.

One of the classics in Chiemgau. Ascent over the Jägersteig is very spectacular.

At the beginning, the walk is a bit monotonous through the forest, but at the top you will find a great landscape with many flowers and shrubs. And the rock walls all around are very impressive.

Wanted to try the Jägersteig, but this is not suitable for us in winter; then turned around and walked the way over the Ostertal - 1 hour extra - and unfortunately forgot to continue the recording; therefore only a straight line when recording; Snowshoes would be good, but not essential.

What dreamy weather👍🌞
A wonderful tour with Gundlwand, Obinger Kreuz, and Hörndlwand (central and western peaks) with clear views all the way to the snow-covered Central Alps.👍👍👍👍

Beautiful hike with snowshoes to the Hörndl Alm
Hoerndlwand was too uncertain
