Tour description:
Starting point: Tourist Info Reit im Winkl
From the starting point we start in the district of Entfelden, drive past lush meadows and the Marienkapelle , follow the main road to the right in the direction of Seegatterl . At the end of the connecting road, which we cross, we keep right for a moment, then left directly into the commercial area and finally after the Lofer bridge onto the cycle path. Next to the cool Schwarzlofer we cycle very comfortably to Seegatterl, where we cross the large car park and finally reach the Schwarzlofer forest road (ski run in winter). Here, next to the ditch of the same name, we continue uphill, after a good distance past the valley station of the Zigeunerlift to the Rossalm, where we are greeted by horses. We keep right and left again in the direction of the parking lot at the church of St. Johann im Gebirg , leaving the road that leads to the Dürnnbachhorn valley station. Once there, we use the nostalgia chairlift and arrive comfortably and rested at the mountain station at 1607 m.
From here, a narrow path between the mountain pines leads up to the summit cross of the Dürnnbachhorn (1775 m).
We are rewarded with an unforgettable panorama of the surrounding mountains. In ideal weather, the view extends to the Zugspitze. The Weitsee lies embedded in its valley.
The way back is the same to the mountain station and then it goes over the meadow path in the direction of Dürrnbachalmen to the Winklmoosalm . (Caution, danger of slipping when wet). The train would be another way to get to the valley.
If you want to extend your hike , are sure-footed, have a head for heights, and have sturdy shoes, you can follow the ridge from the summit in an easterly direction on the narrow path to the Finsterbach/Heuthal junction, another steep descent to the Heutallift lift station. To the west in the steep forest area, descent to the Finsterbachalm. After the Alm on an easy forest path back to the valley station of the railway.
Continuing with the bikes on the road in the direction of the parking lot (on the left the Maria Himmelfahrt chapel), we turn right at the Bundeswehrhütte and follow the path to Seegatterl and back to Reit im Winkl to the starting point.
Refreshments : restaurants on the Winklmoos - Alm, mountain station of the railway, Finsterbachalm
