More information

Coming from the B320, at the crossing Trautenfels in direction Irdning. Then in the direction of Donnersbach. In the village turn left towards Planneralm and follow the 12 km long toll-free mountain road.

From the mountain rescue centre the path leads directly up to the Plannersee. Afterwards there is an approx. 40-minute ascent on a trail to the Plannerknot (1996 m). From there, continue in a northerly direction below the ridge to a saddle. From here there is a somewhat steeper ascent to the Hochrettelstein. At the summit there is a wonderful panorama - a perfect backdrop for the well-deserved summit snack! The descent back to the starting point follows the same path.

On a clear day, you can see as far as the Lachtal valley to the windmills. The alpine flora is especially beautiful there.

There is no public transport to the Planneralm.
