View of Unterwössen

Highlight • Viewpoint

Here, the branches clear the view of Unterwössen and the Chiemgau mountain world. After the ice age glaciers melted around 10,000 years ago, a mountainside broke off at the Hochlerch. The debris landed in the valley and blocked the outflow to the north. The meltwater accumulated on the valley floor to form a lake. It's hard to imagine that everything here was once underwater. Today, you have a great view of the wide valley.

MoarAlm Mountain Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The lowest of the three alpine pastures in the Weitalm area on the Hochgern. The beautifully renovated Alm has a magnificent view of the Achental and a super bread is also available.

Hochgern Summit

Highlight • Summit

The Hochgern, at 1,748 meters, is a brilliant vantage point on the edge of the Chiemgau Alps. You can climb it via simple paths and treat yourself to something special at one of the alpine pastures as a reward. From the summit of the Hochgern, the Chiemsee lake lies almost at your feet. The panoramic view is fantastic in good weather – whether over the lowlands or into the surrounding mountain ranges like the Kaisergebirge.
