    Up to one of the most popular huts in the German Alps - the Watzmannhaus.

    Safety information

    The ascent should not be underestimated – it is consistently steep from start to finish.

    Roadbook

    From the Wimbach bridge parking lot, a short stretch along the road upstream along the Wimbach to the first signposts. The way to the Watzmannhaus is very well signposted.

    It goes steeply uphill through the forest right from the start to the Stubenalm and further through light forest to the Mitterkaseralm. From the Mitterkaseralm, the path becomes a bit narrower but remains an easy hiking trail. Over the Falzalm the last climb up to the Watzmannhaus.
