Trail description

A 7 km climb in the Chiemgau Alps from Bergen up hiking trail 8 to the summit of the Hochfelln (1,674 m). The summit cross was cast at the Maximilianshütte ironworks in Bergen and carried up in pieces by its workers, woodcutters and villagers; the highest point, with the Tabor chapel, lies about 80 m south of the cross. The Hochfelln cable car also runs up from Bergen.
