Achental hiking pin checkpoints : Wuhrstein-Alm, Geigelstein, Haidenholz-Alm, Blasi-Alm Special features: Diverse flora and fauna (Geigelstein nature reserve), Roß-Alm, one of the highest alpine pastures in Germany Geigelstein – second highest mountain in Chiemgau
Description : From the Geigelstein car park in Ettenhausen, a forest path leads to the Wuhrstein-Alm mountain inn (1 1/4 hours) and on through the beautiful Wuhrstein-Alm area in large serpentines to the Wirts-Alm (1,421 m – 2 hours). The forest road ends here and a path (turn off to the right after 100m) always leads in the direction of Geigelstein to a saddle. From here it goes through the mountain pine-covered southern slope of the Geigelstein in serpentines to the summit (3 1/2 hours + breaks). The panoramic view from the summit is tremendous, the rest on the summit is a pleasure. The descent goes in a northerly direction to the Geigelsteinsattel and over an alpine plateau to the 1,700 m high Roß-Alm. Alternatively, you can descend from the Geigelsteinsattel to the Priener Hütte and return via the Karlscharte. From the Roß-Alm the path goes downhill to the Haidenholz-Alm. Even within the mountain pines, a path branches off to the Weitlahnerkopf (short detour possible). From the Haidenholz-Alm you can always take the forest road towards Ettenhausen to the starting point, or you can take a path that branches off to the left about 800 m below towards Schleching. With this variant you have two options to get into the valley, because the path branches off at the Achental hiking pin control point Blasi-Alm. The path on the right leads back over a forest road to the Geigelstein car park. Straight on in the direction of Schleching, you reach the valley west above Schleching and can turn right back to the starting point.

Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
