From Griesner Alm to Stripsenkopf

After the Griesner Alm car park, a wooden footbridge leads over the Kaisertalbach stream. Through sparse deciduous forests and across wide alpine pastures, always below the imposing cliffs of the Wilder Kaiser, you hike up to the Stripsenjochhaus (1577 m). Soon after the Tavonaro cross, the route follows a short, rope-secured path along a rock face.On this part of the hike, you now climb the Stripsenkopf (1807 m) on a black mountain trail. From the viewing pavilion, there are phenomenal views of the Wilder Kaiser, from the Karlspitze to the Totenkirchl, and as far as Lake Chiemsee in Bavaria. This pavilion was built in 1924 by the Alpine Club section Neuötting (Bavaria). However, the windbreak pavilion was destroyed in the 60s by a lightning strike. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Stripsenjochhaus, the pavilion was rebuilt in 2002. In our region, the Stripsenkopf is one of the most popular lookout mountains. Returne on the same track.
