The high boxes is a 1922 m above sea level. NN high mountain in the Ester Mountains in the Bavarian Prealps and is located north of the Krottenkopf - the main peak of the Ester Mountains.
The Hohe Kisten is a mountain with two sides, a rocky north side, on which the structure of the summit looks like a large box, and a tame south side, on which the summit is barely visible.
The summit can be reached as an easy mountain tour from Wallgau . The ascent from Eschenlohe in the Loisach Valley through the Puster Valley requires perseverance and surefootedness . Another access is the path from the Weilheimer Hütte ( 1946 m ) running near the ridge . This makes it a good idea to cross the Hohe Kisten : for example as a very long day tour Eschenlohe-Hohe Kisten-Weilheimer Hütte- Oberau (using the Munich-Garmisch-Partenkirchen railway ) or as part of a longer tour through the Estergebirge.
In the 1970s it was planned to build a cable car from Eschenlohe to the summit of the Hohe Kisten. The project, which also provided for several ski lifts, failed due to resistance from the Federal Nature Conservation Union .
