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.

    Tolle Tour mit immer wieder schönen Blicken und Schatten. Wanderschuhe sind sehr empfehlenswert (z.B. besonders für Abstieg Käsplatte und Hadriwa). Die Wege nach der Käsplatte bis Hadriwa sind wunderbar ruhig, und teils nur kleine Pfade. Es gibt eine Variante, die gut 100 Höhenmeter spart: am westlichen Pröllerhang nahe dem Prellerhaus vorbei. Der Weg ist schön schattig. Für diese Variante bietet es sich an, die Tour in Grün zu starten.
