Leg strength and fitness are required on the first ascent to the Kohleralm. Serpentine after serpentine, it goes through the shady mountain forest, which guarantees fresh air, especially on hot summer days. From the alpine pasture, a narrow path leads through dwarf pine fields and over rock steps to the summit cross of Gamsknogel. The viewing lodge is often shared with the cheeky alpine choughs, who greedily eye the brought snacks.

Safety information
Mountain tours with children: According to the German Alpine Club, tours with children under six years old should not last longer than three to four hours. School children can go further if rest breaks are taken and they are motivated. As a rule of thumb for walking time indications: 1.5 times the normal walking time for adults corresponds approximately to the walking time with children.Roadbook
The route starts at the chapel in Einsiedl east of Inzell. Heading southeast, we enter the forest on the natural path. Always following the path straight ahead, it gently ascends on gravel. After just over one kilometer of walking, we turn right and follow the natural path until it takes a sharp left turn.
Then it steeply climbs over the switchbacks to the Kohleralm. Those who want to can take a rest here before continuing always keeping left, via climbing paths to the summit at 1,750 meters.
