August 5, 2025,Watzmannhaus - Wimbachbrücke 🌤️🥾

From about 4 a.m. onwards, the Watzmannhaus was already quite busy; the first hikers were setting off to climb the Hocheck and later traverse the Watzmann. We also got up and enjoyed a magnificent sunrise. We decided to descend again and ended our hike at the Wimbach Bridge. The weather was on our side today.

September 7, 2023,Tag 1. Watzmannüberschreitung

Today I was finally able to start a long-awaited mountain tour:
The Watzmann crossing.
We started late in the morning at the Wimbachbrücke car park near Ramsau.
The path up to the Watzmannhaus is long and a bit demanding in the high summer temperatures, but the landscape is a real treat... here it's simple: the path is the destination.
When …

August 18, 2023,~1. Etappe~ Watzmannüberschreitung / 🅿️ Ramsau ➡️ Watzmannhaus 🛖

Wow, I'm still totally flashed by the beauty of this area ❤️ The Bechtesgadener Land is simply fantastic 😍 I'm even more looking forward to tomorrow!! The ascent was wonderful, initially through a beautiful forest and towards the end with a view that is unparalleled. I even met a sleeping cow that just snored 😂 The Watzmannkind is a very …

Ascent to the Watzmannhaus in fog and rain ...
When planning the appointment in February, the weather could not yet be foreseen! :)

The forest road to the Watzmannhaus is very steep and difficult to walk. Unfortunately, it is the longest stretch of the climb. Only one thing helps: go faster and get done!

September 1, 2023,Prolog: Zum Watzmannhaus

A little prelude to our Watzmann crossing the following day. From the Wimbach Bridge, where the stream of the same name is just leaving the gorge (presumably pleased that it only has a few meters left to its mouth), we climb the 1200 meters of elevation gain to the Watzmannhaus in just under three hours on excellent hiking trails. With …

Long and very steep ascent to the Watzmannhaus. Unfortunately, the Stubenalm on the way was closed, but further up, the Mitterkaseralm was open and we were able to strengthen ourselves before we tackled the last part of the route.

Note to self: > 400 m ascent per hour in humid air is a bit off but doable.

June 9, 2023,🇩🇪Watzmannhaus – Wimbachklamm 👍💪

The Watzmann has its attraction 💪 The mountain is simply huge 👍 and fantastic. Respect who makes it to the summit 💪
Even up to the Watzmann-Haus you need strong legs and you really start to sweat
The descent is just as exhausting 😰
Still through the Wimbachklamm and a wonderful tour is over 👍💪🇩🇪
