Its rocky crest, built of limestone, drops steeply to the north towards the alpine foreland and from its heights opens up the view over the wide Chiemsee, which is called the Bavarian Sea because of its size, out to the hilly land of lakes and moors. This forward position on the edge of the Alps makes the Kampenwand a popular viewpoint mountain from which both lowland and high mountains can be surveyed at once.<\/p>\n<p>At the foot of the mountain lies Aschau with its baroque parish church and Hohenaschau Castle enthroned high above the village, a castle complex from the 12th century whose medieval walls were magnificently decorated in the baroque period and in which birds of prey today recall the old art of falconry. For centuries the people here lived from agriculture and alpine pasture farming, before tourism opened up the slopes. A cable car today leads up to the height of the Kampenwand and connects the tranquil valley with the rocky, wind-swept world of the summit ridge, which is equally popular with hikers and climbers. On the alpine pastures below the rocks cattle are still summered today, and the rustic mountain huts are part of the firm picture of this landscape shaped by Bavarian lifestyle.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#221c1a;color:#fff;border-radius:10px;padding:18px 22px;margin-top:28px;\"><strong style=\"font-size:1.08em;\">Related<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:6px 0 12px;color:#d8d2cc;font-size:14px;\">To make your trip run smoothly , our guides and gear tips for this destination:<\/p>\n<div style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:10px;\"><a href=\"\/en\/wanderschuhe\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Hiking boots \u2192<\/a><a href=\"\/en\/schichtenprinzip-bekleidung\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Layering guide for clothing \u2192<\/a><a href=\"\/en\/packliste-tages-bergwanderung\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Day-tour packing list \u2192<\/a><a href=\"\/en\/packliste-huettentour\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Hut-tour packing list \u2192<\/a><a href=\"\/en\/huettenwandern-einsteiger\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Hut hiking for beginners \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Die Kampenwand \u00fcber Aschau im Chiemgau ist mit 1.669 m ein beliebter Aussichtsberg mit weitem Blick \u00fcber den Chiemsee und die Alpenkette.
