Kampenwand Trail

Highlight • Trail

When it's not too busy and there are too many people with trainers or ignorance about, the ascent and descent are fun. Surefootedness and suitable footwear as well as consideration …

Steinlingalm Alpine Hut

Great view and good cake - almost everyone on the way to Kampenwand stops here (and rightly so).

Memorial chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

Great view of the Kampenwand. The ideal place for everyone who doesn't dare to climb the via ferrata to the summit and prefers to watch the others as they climb and sit comfortably in the sun.

The section is S2 and nice to drive if you are experienced. But there are also hikers here, so please be considerate. The surface is mostly stony and light rubble, the stones are sometimes the size of a fist.

When there is snow, the hike is dangerous because it is slippery
Otherwise beautiful 😍

There was a time when I often went to Chiemgau with a friend, and we only ever saw the Kampenwand from below, but the inns throughout the region from the inside...

So today I chose the summit cross of the Kampenwand ⛰️ as my destination. On my way to the starting point, the sun was already shining in the morning, …

Today, it actually worked out with this damn Kampenwand 😆.
Every day you look at the weather forecast and ask yourself: "Could it work today?"
It's sad, in any case, that you can't plan anything.
We tried anyway and succeeded...of course, only with the most beautiful shower of water as a baptism when we entered the wall.
No shelter...only retreat …

Unfortunately, the upper part of the tour disappeared in the clouds☁️. It's a shame, it would have been a beautiful view. 😖

Been to the Kampenwand for the first time! 🤪
Very nice tour from Hintergschwendt. Only now and then a piece of farm track. Otherwise nice climbs through the forest and over alpine pastures.
De Mangge (marmots) are in good shape😄
At the Steinlingalm you can then decide whether you want to go to the summit. It was good for Heid …

On the trail to the Gedererwand, poles aren't a disadvantage. Unfortunately, we had limited visibility at the summit due to the approaching fog, but the summit cross is always worth the effort. The hike offers beautiful views time and again.
