The Unternberg's summit is marked not by a cross but by a painted monument, and the surrounding high plateau opens onto a 360-degree panorama stretching from the Central Alps to the Chiemsee. Descending through fragrant alpine meadows grazed by dairy cattle, the route passes the rustic Raffner Alm before returning to the valley on a gravelled path.

Rundweg Maria Eck
The Rundweg Maria Eck loops through a shaded mixed forest along the flanks of the Hochfelln on broad forest roads, arriving at a baroque pilgrimage church where a terrace behind the building opens onto views over the Chiemsee — striking even in grey weather. The return variant passes through Scharam, and a monastery inn waits at the high point.
