Rauchköpfl

You start at the hiking car park and walk slightly uphill on the paved road. Then you continue over a livestock gate on the gravel road, which winds up the former toboggan run. As soon as the path flattens out again, it branches off to the right towards Herzogstand/Heimgarten. You stay on this path until you leave the forest and come out onto a kind of plateau. You walk this to the end. Here you can already see animal tracks going up a steep slope. You follow these until you reach a small sign close to the ground, indicating the path to the left towards Heimgarten. Now it's briefly quite steep and demanding until you arrive in a hollow and jog parallel to the rock face. Just before you meet the Heimgarten path, go right over a small grassy knoll up to the Rauchköpfl. From here, you follow the path back down to the Orterer Alm, which you could see from the cross. Past the Alm on the right is a mountain rescue hut. Passing it, you go downhill through the forest on the forest road. After passing the Rötelstein turnoff, after a few vertical meters, you leave the developed path and turn right onto the trail toward Kreutalm. This path gradually becomes rockier and later leads back onto the wide forest road. You walk down this to the fork in the path. You follow it until you reach a large clearing. Here you get a nice view of Lake Kochel and must follow an animal track over the meadow in the left curve. This then leads into a short rooty path and directly guides you back to the hiking car park where you started.
