Rattenberger Höhenrundweg
Top route near Rattenberg. It starts in the small village of Unterholzen (GPS: Unterholzen, 94371 Rattenberg). The entire circular route is marked with Red 10. I start counterclockwise and first walk a few meters along a small road. After a small chapel, it goes into the forest and paths and trails take us up the mountain. At Hochberg (665 m) and Kramerschopf (710 m) there is each a summit cross, a bench for resting, and a great view. Signs lead us on side paths to these beautiful spots. The trail between the two summits is a highlight on its own. Rocky, rooty, and with ups and downs. The hiking heart loves that. Then it goes steeply downhill again, first on a path and then on trails, reaching our destination again in Unterholzen.
TOP ROUTE with lots of highlights.
