Tour description:

Hochgern hiking car park – Agerschwendalm – Moaralm – Enzianhütte – Hochgernhaus – Hochgerngipfel – Grundbachalm – Hochsattel – Jochbergalm – Hochgern hiking car park

From the hiking car park, follow path no. 5 via the Agerschwendalm and the mountain guard hut to the Enzianhütte . After a short while you will reach the Hochgernhaus .

From there the path leads along a narrow mountain path directly to the 1,744m high Hochgern summit , where you are rewarded with wonderful views stretching from the Kaiser Mountains to Lake Chiemsee. However, the descent via path no. 58 requires some skill. Here a sign leads to a narrow, steep serpentine path towards Grundbachalm. Then we continue over the Hochsattel to the Jochbergalmen , where you can take a short break. Then you follow path no. 52, which leads you through the Kaltenbachtal back to the starting point.
