Selected alternatives for you
    Attractive mountain hike with a challenging summit ascent and varied geology and plant life. The ride with the Breitenbergbahn allows a wonderful summit experience with moderate elevation gain.

    The north-side ascent via the "Langer Strich" impresses with its dense growth of silverweed. The summit ascent is equipped with rope protections and only recommended for experienced hikers with sure footing. But even below the summit, there is already a magnificent view. The descent via the "Böse Tritt" sounds worse than it is. The path winds down a steep slope in many switchbacks.

    Author’s recommendation

    With a bit of luck and attention, you can spot chamois on the north side of the Aggenstein.

    On one section, you follow the GEOpath, which presents the results of research in the geology of the Northern Limestone Alps since exploration began 150 years ago.

    Roadbook

    From the top station of the Hochalp chairlift, you hike over a saddle to the north ascent of the Aggenstein, the "Langer Strich," which climbs via many switchbacks to just below the summit. It’s about a 10-minute climb over rocks to the summit. Downward, you pass the Bad Kissinger Hut and continue down for another 10 minutes. Here you turn left onto the path towards the Breitenbergbahn, which winds down the steep slope. Then you turn left again towards the Breitenbergbahn and return along the backside of the Aggenstein to the Breitenbergbahn.
