Hochkönig is one of the highest peaks of the northern limestone Alps. In addition, it is a beautiful area of meadows and mountain cottages around the massif. It is possible to get to the top from practically all sides. The famous Königsweg tour and the simple Hochkeil lookout point are also beautiful. The area is ideal for an extended weekend

Arthurhaus - an ideal starting point for Hochkönig

The ideal starting point for Hochkönig is the mountain hotel Arthurhaus (1,500 m above sea level) at the end of a mountain road with a large car park. ** Recommended tourist itinerary **: – ** First day **: Hike Königsweg – ** Second and third day **: Ascent to Hochkönig normal, sleeping in a cottage on top. With enough strength, still ascent to the Hochkeil lookout. A faster alternative without having to return the same way is to climb Hochkönig directly from the Königsweg and return normally
