The Schachenhaus (1866 meters) is a mountain hut in the Wetterstein Mountains directly at the royal house on Schachen. Farmed alp with local products. We recommend.

The royal castle is worth the trip. Guided tours take place at regular intervals.

The forest road from Elmau past the Wettersteinalm up to the Schachen draws considerably. In the meantime countless mountain bikers with and without e-drive can be seen on this route on beautiful days. You can also combine hiking and biking as we cycle the boring Hatsch to the Wettersteinalm (continuous 4-8% gradient) and from there take the varied climb over the Schachentor. We did it as a 2-day trip, stayed in the Schachenhaus, enjoyed the sunrise and looked at the Alpine garden in peace. After the descent or the descent to the refreshing bath and lunch at the Ferchensee.

As an alternative, there is the ascent of Partenkirchen on the Partnachklamm Reintal and then up to Schachen.

From the royal house you should not miss the lookout pulpit King Ludwig II, which offers a fantastic view of the Reintal up to the Zugspitzplatt.

Bike & Hike to Schachen! By mountain bike from Mittenwald to Wettersteinalm and from there via Schachentorsteig to Schachen. With the e-mountain bike even for not so good cyclists feasible, the increase is partially strong and the 300 W battery in full use up to the Wettersteinalm reaches its limits. E-Bike Can be rented at the Bike Station in Mittenwald (better preorder).

Great castle with an alp next door.

Great view! You can only get there on foot or by bike, so no flip-flop tourists.
The food is delicious too.

The chess castle is sublime. The view all around is simply wonderful

Indescribably beautiful tour that can be mastered with a bit of fitness. The easier route turns right just before the Wettersteinalm.

Free parking at the Elmauer Alm hiking car park

Beautifully situated house, ideal for a king because of the perfect view in all directions. The interior is very nice, if possible look at it.
