Discover the Högl!  We hike from the Scheiter parking lot to the left and after the barn turn right into the Mühlenweg. After crossing the state road, we follow the signs to Stroblalm along the meadow path by the road to the Högl. Then continue on a small road towards the TV tower and at the second opportunity follow the signs turning right and soon reach the Neuchbichler Alm. Over the Kleinhögl towards Jechling and via the Jechlinger Panoramaweg back to Anger to the starting point.

    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.

    ich bin sicher, der Weg war mal sehr schön. leider sind Teile des Weges inzwischen offiziell rückgebaut, der hier angegebenen Tour kann man in der Form nicht mehr folgen. im Ort reicht es, auf der anderen Seite des Baches zum Wanderweg zu gehen; was man beim Abstieg tun müsste, haben wir leider nicht herausgefunden.

    Stramm- vom C- Platz zum Wegkreuz sehr steil! Der Gipfel ist sehr schön und erfordert Schwindelfreiheit. Ist schön über den Grad aufzusteigen und über den gesicherte , auch krakzeligen Steig abzusteigen…….. Der Abstieg ab Pidinger Hütte ist einfach und etwas langweilig. Der Parallelweg von Pudding aus ist schee!

    Super schöne Tour mit relativ viel Schatten, also für sehr sonnige Tage geeignet. Die Mitnahme von Brotzeit ist zu empfehlen, da die Steineralm nicht jeden Tag bewirtet ist, zumindest vor Juni. Dem Track kann man im oberen Drittel nicht ganz folgen. Beim Sackgassenschild unbedingt auf dem Wirtschaftsweg bleiben, da man sonst querfeldein gehen muss.

    Der Frillensee ist super. Besonders gefallen haben mir die Unmengen an Libellen. Steineralm war offen, aber meine Frau wollte nichts, schade, ist ein schönes Plätzchen. Ein guter Mix aus verschiedensten Wegarten, ohne Asphalt und Beton. Nach dem Frillensee kommt ein Trampelpfad, der stellenweise sehr gute Trittsicherheit erfordert, aber gut machbar, nichts Gefährliches. Kurz vor der Steineralm waren Gemsen knapp neben dem Weg. Große Parkplätze am Startpunkt.

    Trittsicherheit ist öfter mal gefragt. Hier relativ harmlos.

    Sehr schöne Tour. Leider mussten wir auf ca. halbem Weg einen Umweg einschlagen, da der Weg nicht passierbar war (siehe Screenshot - Unwetter?).
