Ridge Hike - high above the Planneralm - 1.588m

An alpine hike, or more accurately: a narrow, alpine trail, mostly along the ridge, over several peaks on the north-west side of the Plannerkessel.
Let`s go. Past the Plannersee and up to the -knot. At the top right you collect along the narrow ridge over Plannereck, Kleiner and Großer Rotbühel to the Jochspitze massive peaks and even more miraculous views. Take this perceived dream with you before it goes down from the Goldbachscharte back to the Planneralm.

More information

Coming from the B320, at the crossing Trautenfels follow the signs to Irdning. Then head towards Donnersbach. In the village, turn left towards Planneralm and follow the 12 km long toll-free mountain road.
From the mountain rescue house on trail 940 to Plannersee to the start of the ridge at Plannerknot (1996 meters). Turn right on path 14 and walk along the rocky ridge in a southerly direction without any major difficulties. Continue along the path to Plannereck and from there along the ridge above the Plannerkessel to the Kleine and Große Rotbühel. At the crossroads the ridge turns to the west and via an even narrower path you hike over the Gläserkoppe to the last peak of this tour, the Jochspitze (2037 meters). From there you go downhill to the Goldbachscharte and follow the markings through the watery cirque to the Planneralm.
When walking the tightrope, draw from the full and take in all the impressions. It's amazing what a potpourri of natural beauty you will encounter here. Let yourself be delighted.
Unfortunately there is no public transport to the Planneralm in summer. 
Large, free parking area directly at the Planneralm.
