Below the steep, wooded mountain slopes, a leisurely path runs through the Graswangtal. From the edge of the forest you can enjoy beautiful views over the lovely landscape and the mountains.

The valley lies in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen district in the unincorporated Ettaler Forst and part of the Ettal municipality, south of the Klammspitz ridge and north of the Kreuzspitz and Kramer groups. The largest tributary valley is the Elmautal, between the Kreuzspitz and Kramer groups. The Scheinbergspitz, part of the Hochplatten-Tegelberg group, forms the valley's visual boundary in the west.The Graswangtal is approximately 15 km long and runs predominantly in a west-east direction. It begins at the German-Austrian border near the Ammer Saddle at the confluence of the Fischbach and Neualmbach streams to form the Linder at an altitude of approximately 1,080 m and ends in the Ettal Weidmoos at an altitude of 840 m.The Linder flows through the entire Graswangtal before turning north as the Ammer in the Weidmoos. State Road 2060 also runs through the entire valley. The valley includes the Ettal districts of Linderhof with Linderhof Castle, Graswang, Dickelschweig and Rahm.

Nice path for the whole family, also easy to do with an all-terrain stroller.
