    Die Runde war dann doch anstrengender als ich dachte durch die teils steilen (aber nicht allzu langen) Anstiege. Man hat wunderschöne Ausblicke auf die gegenüber liegenden Berge Zwiesel und Hochstaufen. Wer eine kurze Runde gehen möchte, für den ist es genau richtig. Aber wie gesagt, es sieht auf der Karte leichter aus wie es in Wirklichkeit ist!

    lange und anstrengende, aber super schöne Tour. In Bad Reichenhall habe ich den Bus nach Berchtesgaden bis Bayrisch Gmain genommen um ein paar flache km zu sparen (~4km). Die Landschaft nach dem anstrengenden Wald durch die Karstlandschaft ist fantastisch. die Stimmung und das Panorama vom Stöhrhaus einmalig. Danke Stefan für die Anregung.

    Schöne einfache Tour. Ein Punkt Abzug, da man einen gewissen Teil der Strecke neben einer Hauptstraße gehen muss.

    Die Tour hat mir gut gefallen. Den 5 ten Stern hat der Blaue Steig gekostet der Anfangs nur aus Latschen Wurzeln besteht. Die Kohler Alm liegt wunderschön und bietet ein super rundum Blick.

    Die Tour ist durchaus anstrengend, gute Kondition und Trittsicherheit gefordert, aber lohnenswert. Viele schöne Aussichten und Rastplätze am Weg. Bin die Tour in umgekehrter Richtung gelaufen, beim Aufstieg vielen Menschen begegnet, danach kaum noch jemanden gesehen. Habe etwas über 4 Stunden gebraucht, mir aber bewusst Zeit gelassen und Pausen zum Fotografieren genommen.
