Description

Start in Kössen at the valley station of the Bergbahnen Kössen along the eastern path. After a few minutes in the forest area, the path climbs at a barrier in long, easily accessible serpentine up to Scheibenwaldhütte (possibility for refreshments). From there you continue to the Bärenhütte (paraglider starting place) and the summit house. Now it is still about half an hour over a well marked mountain path to the Unterberghorn. You can either go back the same way with the gondola or via the Niederhausertal. (Path no. 70)
