We parked in Hinterstein and then took the bus to the Giebelhaus. From there we walked over the Bärgündele-Alpe to the Prinz Luitpold House. After a short break, we continued over the Kreuzspitze to the Hochvogel. For the return route, we went over the Kalter Winkel to the Balkenscharte. From there back via the Prinz Luitpold House to the Giebelhaus.
