Winterzauber in Reit im Winkl
The Hemmersuppenalm is a beautiful plateau near the Hindenburghütte, perfect for hiking and biking, and in winter also for ski touring and cross-country skiing. Its name comes from the white hellebore (also known as white gemmer or, in some Austrian regions, Hemmer) that grows here in small marshy areas (known locally as "Suppen"). In winter, in addition to the cross-country ski trails, a wonderful winter hiking trail is groomed, allowing for a pleasant 6 km loop starting and ending at the Hindenburghütte. The plateau features numerous alpine huts (Kaser) and the small St. Anna Chapel.

The Catholic parish church of St. Pankratius was built in 1911 in Neo-Baroque and Art Nouveau styles, designed by the Munich architect Josef Elsner. Previously, from 1393 onward, several other churches stood on the same site, which were destroyed by lightning or became too small. Church traditions are highly valued in Reit im Winkl, from the blessing of palm branches on Palm Sunday to the Corpus Christi procession. The parish belongs to the Archdiocese of Munich.
