A little closer to heaven: summit happiness on the Chiemgau viewing terrace and quiet paths on the descent
Tour description:
Bergen Hochfellnbahn car park - cable car middle station - Bründlingalm - Hochfellnhaus - Felln Alm - Bacherwinkl - Gemberger Alm - Steinbergalm - Hochfellnbahn middle station - starting point
Stage destination: Hochfelln summit
The tour begins comfortably - namely with a gondola ride on the Hochfellnbahn . From the middle station, a forest road then leads past the Bachschmiedkaser (1150 m) and Öderkaser (1165 m) to the Bründling Alm (1167 m). All three pastures are managed .
In both summer and winter, guests are drawn to the Hochfelln, the " view terrace " of the Chiemgau at 1,674 metres. The view from the imposing summit cross is phenomenal, as is the snack. The Hochfellnhaus is the highest inn in the Chiemgau.
A piece of Chiemgau history is the Hochfellnkirche, also Tabor chapel, inaugurated in 1899, burned down after a lightning strike in 1970 and rebuilt with great effort. If you have time, visit the geology trail . We continue on the narrow mountain path, which is partly interspersed with rocks, relatively lonely to the Felln Alm (1349 m). After the Felln Alm area, the path leads over soft and tall conifers towards Ruhpolding.
The long round (14 kilometers, 1000 meters in altitude) of the Salzalpentour Bergen-Bründligalm should be planned well so that the last gondola in the evening (last descent from the middle station: 4:30 p.m.) is not already gone. Otherwise take the descent from the Steinbergalm to the Hochfellnbahn car park. If you want to save a few meters in altitude, you can take the Hochfellnbahn not only to the middle station, as recommended, but all the way to the summit. Without the cable car, the tour starts at the Steinbergalm car park (subject to a fee). If you stop at the Steinbergalm, the parking price will be refunded.
