ハーバッハの絶景の山頂・トップ13

Small, quiet summit :)

In absolute terms, the Graseck is not very high, but it still stands 600 m above Lake Kochel, as the western side drops steeply down to the lake. This means that there are great views of the lake, which lies like a pearl in the plain below. The path there is somewhat exposed and often goes through steep grassy slopes, so it should be approached with caution, especially in snow.

A nice hike, without any difficulties, on wide forest paths, up and down. Shortly before the summit (100/150m) there is a steep root path with a few rocks leading up. There is not much space at the summit cross.

The climb to Röthelstein is actually not very demanding except for the last 200 meters. The climb leads along wide forest paths. Shortly below the summit cross, however, it becomes challenging: rooty paths, steep and sometimes rocky sections follow. You should definitely be sure-footed. Not recommended when it is wet.

The pilgrimage church of St. Maria im Heuwinkl, as the Heuwinkl Chapel is called in full, is located on a hill on the eastern outskirts of Iffeldorf and is considered one of the most beautiful chapels in the entire Bavarian Oberland. Commissioned by the Wessobrunner monastery, it was built by the important Wessobrunner master builder and stucco artist Johann Schmutzer and consecrated in 1701. The original round building with its mighty red dome, which in turn is crowned by a tower-like lantern, can be seen from afar. The porch with the bell tower, where the current entrance to the chapel is located, and the two-storey sacristy on the opposite side were only added later. In addition to the unusual external appearance, the interior of the chapel with the wooden high altar built in the late Rococo style, which is covered with valuable, colored stucco marble, is also worth seeing. From May to October daily from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Very beautiful restored chapel with a great view, easy to reach from Iffeldorf. And the Way of the Cross (beautiful avenue) with carved stations is also worth seeing. More details. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heuwinklkapelle
