Imposing views from the Wilder Kaiser to Chiemsee lake!
At the Stripsenjochhaus mountain hut, you can also enjoy the wonderful colours of nature that accompany the sunrise!
Take path 825 and head north via a ridge that is overgrown with mountain pines. At the Feldberg/Stripsenkopf turnoff, keep right and head in the direction of Feldberg. When you reach the next turnoff, walk west for around 10-15 minutes until you come to the viewing pavilion of the Stripsenkopf mountain (1,807 m). This is an excellent place to enjoy the full might of the summits and rock faces in the Wilder Kaiser region! On a clear day, you can even see as far as Chiemsee lake in the north, the Loferer and Leoganger Steinberge mountains to the south and the Karwendel mountains as you look west.
Continue along the panoramic ridge, first heading downhill and past the “Frankenländer Nadel” formation. Then walk back uphill via the Tristecken (1,710 m) to the Feldberg summit (1,813 m). This offers a fascinating view into the Ellmauer Tor from the north.
Path 825 continues up to the Obere Scheibenbichlalm Alpine pasture. Here, you will follow forest road 76 and certain sections of trail 20 (shortcuts across meadows and through the forest) as you head down into the Kaiserbachtal valley nature reserve.
Once you reach the asphalt road, hike east. If the water level is low, you can cross the stream after around 100 metres and follow forest road 801 towards Griesenau. If the water level is too high, simply follow the asphalt road past the toll point as it guides you to Griesenau.
Turn off before Kössener Strasse. Bear right onto the forest road when you come to the first house and walk south along the Engelbach stream towards Gasteig (around 1 to 1.5 hours). At the first fork in the road, keep left. The trail leads over a series of wooden steps, passing through the forest until you come back to the forest road. You should then keep following this southeast until you reach Gasteig, which features a range of options for overnight stays.
Make sure to take sufficient food and drinks with you on this stage!
Tip: Regional bus and show dairy
Tired hikers can take the bus for the final stretch from Griesenau to Gasteig and visit the ‘Wilder Käser’ cheese-making demonstration there.

Impressive views from the Kaiser to the Chiemsee!
At the Stripsenjochhaus you will also be rewarded with glowing colors at sunrise!
Trail 825 leads you north over a larch-covered ridge. At the fork Feldberg/Stripsenkopf keep right towards Feldberg and at the next fork hike about 10 minutes west until you reach the viewing pavilion of the Stripsenkopf (1,807 m). From here you can enjoy the peaks and rock faces of the Wilder Kaiser in full splendor! In clear visibility, the Chiemsee lake appears to the north, the Loferer and Leoganger Steinberge mountains to the south, and the Karwendel to the west.
The route continues on a scenic ridge first downhill and past the “Frankenländer Nadel” over the Wiesensattel (1,627 m) and then uphill again over the Tristecken (1,710 m) to the Feldberg summit (1,813 m). From here you have a fascinating view into the Ellmauer Tor from the north.
Trail 825 continues to the Upper Scheibenbichlalm. From there you proceed on forest road 76 and partly on path 20 (shortcuts over meadows and through the forest) down into the Kaiserbachtal nature reserve.
Upon reaching the asphalt road, walk east and if water levels are low, you can cross the creek after about 100 m and continue on forest path 801 towards Griesenau. If water levels are too high, simply follow the asphalt road past the toll station to Griesenau.
Here, the Gasthof Griesenau awaits hungry and tired hikers with its excellent trout and rooms with views of the property's own lily pond.
If you still have energy reserves for the stage destination, turn right before Kössener Straße at the first house onto the forest path and hike along the Engelbach creek southwards towards Gasteig (approx. 1–1½ hours). At the first fork, keep left. The path leads over several wooden bridges through the forest until you reach the forest road again. Follow this always southeast to Gasteig, where several accommodation options are offered.
Carry sufficient drinks and provisions for this stage!
TIP: Postbus and demonstration dairy
