Kleine Reib'n – hiking in the Berchtesgaden National Park

You start at the Hinterbrand parking lot. From there, follow the forest road (No. 498) in the direction of the Jennerbahn middle station. Shortly before the middle station, turn left onto hiking trail 498a and follow the numerous switchbacks to the forest road. Keep left, passing the Mitterkaseralm and over the Jennersattel, continue to the Carl-von-Stahl-Haus at Torrener Joch.

From there, follow a more demanding mountain path in a southeasterly direction through dwarf pine fields to a steep ascent. Then continue to the "Blumengarten", a karstic high plateau. Over two rugged terrain steps, you finally reach the broad ridge below the Schneibstein.

The markers guide you in a southerly direction to the Windscharte. Below the Windschartenkopf, descend into the valley between Fagstein and Windschartenkopf. The path continues at mid-height between the mountain rescue hut visible from above and the Seeleinsee lake, to a crossroads and down through the Stiergraben to the Priesbergalm.

From there, follow the Königsweg either to the Hinterbrand parking lot or the Jennerbahn middle station.

Please note that the difficulty ratings of the tour portals and trail signs in the terrain may differ. Your tour planning should be adapted to your physical condition, which is why we ask you to always consider all factors and not to ignore the signs in the terrain!

The difficulty ratings on the trail signs in the terrain correspond to the trail categories of the DAV (German Alpine Club). This tour is marked in red and is therefore considered a moderately difficult path. The paths are narrow and mostly steep. Short passages with a risk of falling or sections secured with wire ropes must be overcome.
