Description

The tour starts at the parking lot Kaiserbachtal. Along the hiking trail on the left side of the stream you hike into the valley. At the Fischbachalm you will find the mountaineers' chapel in memory of all those who died in the Kaisergebirge. Here you now hike about 300 meters along the toll road to the entrance of the Ranggenalm trail. The path leads you up to the Vorderen Ranggenalm. The hike now leads you partly through wooded alpine pastures, past the Großbärental, an impressive rock gorge, to the Obere Scheibenbichlalm. Take a look at the Wilder Kaiser every now and then, as the mighty mountain massif proudly presents its imposing peaks.
A visit to the summit cross at the Obere Scheibenbichlam is worthwhile; on a clear day, there is an impressive view all the way to Lake Chiemsee. Back to the Kaiserbachtal you hike along the forest road to the Untere Scheibenbichlalm. Along the road you can use shortcuts in very many places. Once you reach the toll road, hike about 800 meters out of the valley until you return to the starting point.

TIP: Take enough water with you!
