Hiking

An exciting and varied hike across green alpine meadows, through rustic mountain forests, past a rock spring over the Eggenalmkogel with a panoramic view up to the Straubinger Haus - that's what the excellent premium hiking trail "Almgenuss" offers.

Behind the Hindenburghütte inn (accessible from Reit im Winkl with a paid shuttle bus), the trail starts uphill on the left. At the fork in the road at the "Sulzner Kaser" there is a large information point with an overview of the premium trails that start here. Continue left, following the signs to the Anna Chapel. From the chapel, it goes slightly downhill to the right to the Obere Hemmersuppenalm. At the fork in the road at a mineral spring fountain, the Almgenuss continues right towards the Straubinger Haus. Now it goes gently uphill along a meadow path towards the end of the valley - a population of marmots lives here, if you're lucky you can see them after a shrill whistle. The trail climbs, leads past a small waterfall, then over a footbridge. Finally, you will come to a crossroads with a signpost. At a rock face with a rock spring, turn left over a winding, steep path to the Schuhmacherkreuz.

Shortly afterwards, at the highest point of the tour, the Eggenalmkogel, you will get a fantastic view of Reit im Winkl, the Chiemsee and the nearby Kaiser Mountains from a bench. From the bench, follow the signpost to the right to the Straubinger Haus. Here you can enjoy the view of the Wilder Kaiser, whose massif rises majestically opposite the large, in-house sun terrace.

Directly next to the Straubinger Haus, the return path leads sharply to the right, past a chapel, back towards the Hindenburghütte. A gravel and stone path leads downhill, with a stream babbling to the right. Take the path towards Sulzner Kaser, Hindenburghütte. The stony path almost always leads straight downhill. At a crossroads, turn right towards the Hindenburghütte. At the next crossroads, continue straight on. On the left, the Sulzner Kaser Alm invites you to stop for a rest. A few meters later the path leads left, towards the Hindenburghütte, on the familiar route back to the starting point.

St. Anna Chapel on Hemmersuppenalm

Highlight • Religious Site

In the middle of the open pastureland of the Obere Hemmersuppenalm lies a small rubble stone building with a shingle roof and a pointed roof. The St. Anna Chapel was built in 1906. The patron saint of today's listed building is considered in ecclesiastical tradition to be the mother of Mary and thus the grandmother of Jesus. On July 26th, her name day, she is commemorated. On this occasion, the alpine farmers of the region hold an annual mountain mass here.

Hemmersuppenalm

Highlight • Viewpoint

On the Hemmersuppenalm, at around 1,250 meters above Reit im Winkl, lies the largest alpine pasture area in the Traunstein district. The somewhat curious name has botanical origins. It is derived from the local name for White Germander, the "Hemmer". The herb, which is also poisonous to cattle, thrives best in the so-called "Suppen", the moister, almost marshy areas of the extensive pastures. The scattered alpine huts, also called Kaser in the Chiemgau region, are strictly protected historical monuments. A magnificent idyll.

View of Lake Chiemsee

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you have a fantastic view over the Chiemgau. On clear days, you can see the steel-blue Chiemsee glittering in the sun at a distance of about 25 kilometers. With its approximately 80 square kilometers, it is the largest lake in Bavaria and, after Lake Constance and Müritz, the third largest in Germany. The "Bavarian Sea" was formed by the retreat of the Chiemsee glacier at the end of the last ice age.

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Straubinger Haus is operated by the Straubing Alpine Club section and is only around 30 minutes from the Fellhorn summit.

September 3, 2025,Premiumwanderweg - Almgenuss
We hiked the "Almgenuss" premium hiking trail five years ago, but for me personally, a hiking accident ended in disaster, something I had to live with for months. So, as a form of exposure therapy, a repeat was called for today. It was worth it: perfect hiking weather with spectacular views made the trail pure pleasure. Definitely recommended for anyone …

From Blindau you take the shuttle bus up to the Hindenburghütte. From there it goes over the Hemmersuppenalm, past the Anna Chapel uphill on a beautiful hiking trail over the state border to Straubinger Haus 🇦🇹. From there you have a wonderful view of the mountains. The Wilder Kaiser is right in front of you ⛰. After a refreshment 🍺🥤 …

Why the recording was turned off shortly before the end of the tour at Anna Kapelle, no one knows 🤷🏻‍♂️
