Description

Start is at the information office in Walchsee. From there cross the zebra strip at Pension Fischbacher turn right and immediately turn left into Hausbergstraße. At the football field (parking) turn right into the forest road and hike to the Riederalm. Take the junction on the left and you reach the beautiful alpine pasture area of the Baumgartenalm to the Priener Hütte. (Refreshment option)
From there we continue to the summit of Breitenstein where there is a gold stamp for the hiking pass. A detour to the Geigelstein is also worthwhile. 
You can return to the valley via the Karkopf or also via the Wandberg back into the valley.
