A waterfall on the climb up from Giebel Haus

Onwards from Prinz-Luitpold Haus

Continue along the Jubiläumsweg (path 421) in a northeasterly direction towards the Bockkarscharte (2164m). The saddle is reached after a steep 1hr climb. There are splendid views of the Höfats and Schneck to the southwest and the Hochvogel to the south, while in the east is the Lailachspitze in the Tannheim Valley. Ahead the onward route is plainly visible: a steep zigzag descent over loose rock below the Glasfelder Kopf (2271m), then more comfortably past the Sattelkopf and the Schänzlekopf.

En route to the Lahnerkopf and the Lahnerscharte there are fine views down into the Austrian Schwarzwassertal – the trail has been running through Austrian territory since leaving the Bockkarscharte. At the saddle itself the view extends down to the idyllically situated Schrecksee, on the German side of the border. Instead of taking the trail left, down to the lake, continue right along the Saalfelder Höhenweg (path 421) towards Landsberger Hut.
