エットターラーフォルストのおすすめツーリングルート

clear, cold water for a foot bath

As of September 25, 2025: The Graswang Valley is characterized by its mostly easy gravel bike paths. From Unterammergau to Linderhof, the route is effortless. You can take breaks and enjoy the view. The route, however, is mostly unspectacular and runs through the forest. In my opinion, the "nicer" tour is "Around the Trauchberg" (Unterammergau-Altenau-Halblech-Trauchgau and back north).

Quite enchanting! Built in 1694 by the monks of the Ettal Monastery, the chapel was dedicated to Gertrude of Helfta, who was very popular at the time of its construction (her commemoration date is November 17th). Gertrude, also known as the Great, lived in the second half of the 13th century and is a significant figure in women's mysticism.

Linderhof Palace near Ettal, Ludwig II's smallest palace, impresses with its magnificent interiors featuring stucco, mirrors, wood inlays, and gold decorations, particularly in the Hall of Mirrors and the Moroccan Room. The palace is surrounded by an extensive English-style landscaped garden with terraces, waterfalls, fountains, grottos, pavilions, and statues, which blend harmoniously into the Alpine landscape. Those who wish to explore the palace and its gardens can do so by bike, as cycle paths connect Linderhof Palace with the surrounding region, allowing for a relaxing tour through nature and culture.

An excellent cycling and hiking trail along the Ammer River. The view of the nearby Kofel mountain invites you to linger.

Very beautiful area in the Ammergau Alps

Church in Graswang

Just because of the meeting of the different "Ammer springs" and how they come about - unique!!!
