The Rittner Horn is one of the best known mountain view points in the Alps. For this highlight we recommend to wait for a very clear day. Enjoy the overwhelming 360° panoramic view. There are many nice hikes north of Rittner Horn to Totensee and Totenkirche (take the cable car to cut short). Also nice the Heusteig no. 2A, to Gissmann.

Suggestions to stop at inns: Feltuner Hütte and Unterhornhaus at Rittner Horn.
