Tour description:
Directions: The tour starts in the Hemmersuppenalm hiking area (1200m). You can get to the starting point with the chargeable shuttle bus operated by the Hindenburghütte restaurant. The buses run hourly in summer, and more frequently in the high season from the Tourist Information car park and from the Blindau hiking car park up to the alpine pasture area.
The first destination of the tour is the picturesque St. Anna's Chapel (1242m) above the Upper Hemmersuppenalm. After just a few meters in the alpine area, the view of the surrounding alpine meadows and the mountains of the Chiemgau Alps opens up. 300 meters behind St. Anna's Chapel, in the middle of the Obere Hemmersuppenalm pastures, the hiking trail branches off to the right up to the Straubinger Haus hut. Marmots have established their colonies around the trail, their warning calls may be heard on the way up.
Walk 20 minutes uphill on the alpine meadows of the Obere Hemmersuppenalm until you reach a short stretch of forest. This separates the pastures of the Eggenalm from those of the Obere Hemmersuppenalm. 45 minutes after the Hemmersuppenalmen, at the Felsenquelle spring (1400m), the path branches off to the left in a southerly direction. Following the signs in the direction of Schuhmacher Kreuz, you can enjoy the wonderful view when you arrive at the Eggenalmkogel peak. The distant view stretches in the direction of the Chiemgau Alps and Lake Chiemsee as well as to the south in the direction of the Hohe Tauern range and to the west to the Kaiser Mountains.
The path then continues to the managed Straubinger Haus hut in the Eggenalm pasture area. Passing the chapel, a narrow mountain path takes you back to the Hindenburghütte restaurant. At first it goes rocky downhill before you reach a forest. Be careful here when it's wet. Passing the Sulzner Kaser hut (1240m) the path leads over a paved road to the Hindenburghütte.
Refreshment stops: Alpengasthof Hindenburghütte, Sulzner Kaser, Straubinger Haus
