    The route runs partly along the Austrian border through a nature reserve and on the flower mountain of the Chiemgau (Geigelstein). During the tour, you have views of Lake Chiemsee, the Berchtesgaden Alps, and the Kaisergebirge.

    Author’s recommendation

    The route can be shortened by ascending directly from Wuhrsteinalm into the hollow of Breitenstein and Geigelstein.

    Up to Wuhrsteinalm, biking is possible but strenuous.

    Tips and suggestions

    After Wuhrsteinalm there is no place to eat, so bring enough drinks.

    Roadbook

    From the parking lot, follow the signpost to Wuhrsteinalm, then turn right into Karlwinkel. In the Karlalm area, at a fork take the barely marked left path. Over a short steep section onto a ridge, then follow the signs to the right to Karkopf 1510 m. From here, slightly downhill into the hollow, then the ascent to Breitenstein follows. From there to Geigelstein 1808 m. is also well signposted. From the summit, descend about 150 m again, then left over Wirtsalm, Wuhrsteinalm back to the starting point.
