Breitenstein (3:50h, 778hm) 🟢

📅 Hike Dates

A short and easy hike close to Munich. Perfect for a half-day excursion or if you want to be back early.

We start from Munich and take the train and change in Fischbachau to a bus. Last year, there even was a direct bus. The hike itself is relatively short with minimal elevation gain, making it suitable for beginners or those wanting a relaxed day in nature. There can still be some snow and wet grounds as well.

The summit offers nice views of the surrounding area despite its modest height. We’ll have time to enjoy the scenery and take photos before heading back.
We can have a break at the Berggasthof Kesselalm as well.

For the way back, I have planned to take a longer path to Geitau, though you can also decide to take a detour to Café Winklstüberl (everything below 300g is just a cookie).

If you join by train, I assume you to have a Deutschland-Ticket. If not, please check who else needs a ticket and align to get one on time.
