To the Sigrizalm and onto the Rechelkopf

We leave our car in Marienstein in the area of the former cement factory. Coal mining was also carried out here in the past. We walk westwards towards the edge of the village. At the fork, we keep left and hike, initially moderately ascending, into the valley. We follow the signage towards Rechelkopf. The path becomes steeper and leads us up to the Sigrizalm (not operated). From here we follow the meadow path up to the Rechelkopf. At 1330 meters, it is one of the highest peaks in the mountains between Bad Tölz and the Tegernsee. Once at the top, we enjoy the wide view in all directions, especially the beautiful view towards the Karwendel mountains and to the Benediktenwand.

After a long rest and a snack up on the summit, we hike back to Marienstein via the Sigrizalm.

We recommend sturdy footwear and possibly trekking poles. Please remember to bring food, a mobile phone, change of clothes, and a first aid kit.
