Beautiful view. From here you can see all three Hörnle peaks at once. It's worth the little detour. Not a difficult climb.

August 30, 2024,Unterammergau-Hörndl-Gipfelkreuz-Tour

The tour initially leads steeply uphill from Unterammergau over meadows and pastures. The sun shines on this side of the slope all day long, and on warm days it can be quite sweaty as there are hardly any trees to provide shade. Once you reach the top, you can either walk on wide paths around the peaks or climb up …

January 31, 2026,Mittleres-, Vorderes- und Hinteres Hörnle mit Stierkopf

A sunny circular hike over the three Hörnle peaks above Unterammergau. I find this route from the Kappel car park to be the most beautiful way to traverse the Hörnle. Plenty of sunshine, and the ascent and descent are relatively quiet, unlike the ascent from Bad Kohlgrub.

September 29, 2023,Hinteres Hörnle – Stierkopf Runde von Unterammergau

Beautiful circular tour in the Ammergau Alps!

The Hörnlebahn means there is a lot going on at the beautiful summit. However, the paths are quiet.

The round tour has everything the ❤️ needs. Beautiful hiking trails, a great summit cross, a hut with delicious regional products, cows with cowbells, horses and a return path along the stream with small waterfalls. …

December 30, 2023,5-Gipfel-Wanderung, Unterammergau: Zeitberg, Vorderes, Mittleres, Hinteres Hörnle, Stierkopf

It should be the Hörnle again, I've been to all of them several times, but never on a coherent circular hike including Zeitberg and Stierkopf. I started at 8.30 a.m. at the Kappel car park (4 hours = 5 euros). My recommendation would be to start at least 1 hour earlier given the length of the tour and on weekends …

April 28, 2025,Hörnle Gipfeltour ab Unterammergau🤩28.04.2025

In almost summery weather, we hiked from Unterammergau over the Stierkopf to the three Hörnle peaks and the Zeitberg. What a fantastic tour. Although the approach and return journeys were on gravel and forest roads, as well as a bike path, we also took in rustic forest and meadow paths. The views from all the peaks were absolutely stunning, and …

December 12, 2021,2021-12-12 Hörnle Vier Gipfel und eine Einkehr (T26 aus Rother Schneeschuhführer)

The first snowshoe tour for this year in optimal conditions. Cold, but lots of snow and sunshine 😎. The Hörnle Group is very popular with ski touring and snowshoeing enthusiasts. The route I walked over the Stierkopf is quite lonely, but it was already well groomed. 😀

April 6, 2025,3-Gipfelrunde Unterammergau: Zeitberg - Hinteres Hörnle - Stierkopf

Ammergau Mountains... Not a destination I often visit, but the Hörnle Mountains outside Unterammergau 🅿️ The Hörnle Mountains in Kappl are among my favorite peaks. Together with @AlexandraM and @LisBeth, we headed past the Kappl Church on the left, following the Ammergau meditation path "Flammende Herzen" (Flaming Hearts) toward Zeitberg. The path offers beautiful panoramic views of the Ammergau mountain …
