The starting point of the tour is the Dötzenkopf hiking car park, which you can easily reach by public transport. The train departs 400m from the hotel. Alternatively, you can easily reach the hiking car park by car.
Right at the beginning of the tour begins a popular segment among locals; the best time here is just under 15 minutes 😲. Can you keep up?
We can't! If you feel the same way, you can take the tour up the Dötzenkopf a little more relaxed. It's recommended to stop along the way, as the views are beautiful.
The first waypoint is the Wappachkopf. From here, you have a magnificent view of Salzburg, and Bad Reichenhall is also at your feet. Before you reach the Dötzenkopf, the trail gets a bit steeper again.
Then it's time to head back down. This stretch is a bit longer and therefore not as steep and technically less demanding. However, it still requires concentration, as there are still roots and bumps.
At the end, you have the option of taking a detour into the old town of Bad Reichenhall, or you can walk directly back to the starting point.
