Walk on the Fruit and Cultural Path: Experience Rimsting with new eyes

A summery stroll over Ratzinger Höhe

The walk on the Fruit and Cultural Path combines experiencing nature, local history, and expert insights into one of the most impressive orchards of the Chiemgau. On Friday, September 11, 2026, the tour will take place from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM over Ratzinger Höhe and will reveal a view of more than 300 fruit varieties, cultivated landscapes, and wide vistas of the surroundings.

A path full of varieties, stories, and panoramas

The Fruit and Cultural Path was opened in 1993 and meanders in two loops over a total of about 18 kilometers through the elevation. Fruit trees line the path while open sightlines to the Chiemsee area and the surrounding landscape appear repeatedly. It is precisely this connection of landscape, knowledge, and enjoyment that makes the charm of the tour.

Expert knowledge conveyed directly at the tree

The tour is accompanied by fruit tree advisor Martin Landes and tree keeper Christian Steinbichler. At the stations, selected varieties will be presented, their characteristics explained, and the challenges of fruit tree cultivation in the context of climate change made understandable. This creates an illustrative discovery experience that links botanical diversity and regional identity.

Meeting point, orientation, and arrival

The starting point is the hiking parking lot Ratzinger Höhe in Rimsting. The location is on the edge of a popular recreational and hiking area and serves as a clear meeting point for groups. Weather-appropriate clothing, sturdy footwear, and sufficient drinking water are recommended for the tour to ensure comfort on the partially exposed sections.
