Wooden Bridge Over Forest Stream

Highlight • Bridge

Worthwhile hike, pure nature bridge. The bridge is great to combine with a moderately difficult hike from the Seehaus to the brander alm

Jägersteig on the Hörndlwand

Highlight • Trail

Really only to be recommended in dry weather and with a lot of fun. But then a fun, tight climb over the rocky north flank to the summit with wonderful views

View of the Rocky Cliffs in the Eastern Chiemgau Alps

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.

November 2, 2024,Hoch auf die Hörndlwand 1684 🏔

We started at the "Seehaus" hiking car park (9€ day ticket). If you don't have hiking boots...get some beforehand, otherwise this tour isn't for you! For everyone with the right footwear, the direct hiking trail towards Hörndlwand starts here.
This hiking trail is a real mountain climb, with lots of twists and turns through the forest, but you always notice...it's …

Hiking again today, we went to the Hörndlwand. Quite a lot of fog 🌫 prevented the good view, but it was nice nonetheless. However, I had expected more, because the rock 🪨 looks simply impressive from the Röthelmoos. And how I missed my Esmeralda 🚲 downwards. 😭

I would gladly pay €9 for a mountain, like in Austria, where there are 2000 m high mountains and where the area is beautiful.

Rau Tours alone on tour this time 😉 Unfortunately no one had time, but it was nice to be alone 😊 Got up at 5 a.m. and was at the car park by 7.20 a.m. 💪🏻😃 No one was there yet 😉 The car park costs €9 a day and is a real joke because it's a small gravel lot …

The hike was so short that I followed it up with a home tour.😊

July 22, 2022,Von Seehaus über den Jägersteig auf die Hörndlwand - Gurnwandkopf, Abstieg durch's Ostertal

It all started at the Seehaus hiking car park, which is subject to a fee. First the signposted path towards the Hörndlwand, past the Brander Alm, then right to the mountain rescue hut and finally via the very beautiful Jägersteig to the Hörndlwand. Then over to Gurnwand and Gurnwandkopf before it goes down again through the Ostertal. Finally you meet …

The weather today was modest. On the tour it was patchy and slippery.
But the way there is an alpine challenge

May 13, 2025,🗻 Hörndlwand ☀️🐕😍

Looked over to "my" Chiemgau again😉...the Hörndlwand still looks so beautiful 👆🏻🤩🥰.
I skipped the eastern summit because of the moon ☺️, a longing glance over there had to suffice today🤷🏼‍♀️.

From the 🅿️Seehaus, we took the Jägersteig trail to
