Quite a strenuous tour over hill and dale. But you will be rewarded with some breathtaking panoramic views.

A free parking lot in Lenggries is our starting point. Then it goes out of the village to the Schlossweiher. From here, it steadily climbs uphill on a beautiful root path. Then comes a beautiful but also exposed viewpoint. From here, it continues quite steeply uphill until you reach the summit cross of the Geierstein. There is surprisingly a lot …

February 25, 2024,Wanderung Lenggries Geierstein Frühlings- und Winterwonderland😁🥴😱😎💥

On the path from Lenggries to Geierstein, a fascinating symbiosis between winter magic and spring inclinations is revealed. While the landscape is covered in soft snow, the first tentative buds and the quiet chirping of birds convey a hint of awakening life. It is as if nature itself performs a dance between transience and new beginnings, a poetic metaphor for …

October 20, 2026,Kurz-kurz🥾 statt lang-lang🚴‍♂️-> Geierstein ⛰️☀️🍁🍂🤩

The decision to come here was spot on. From start to finish, it was dreamlike, warm, sunny, shorts-and-t-shirt weather ☀️🍂🥰. The ascent and descent were mostly through the forest, mostly on steep, rooty, and rocky mountain paths (T2-3), with some light scrambling towards the summit using hands, and a few slippery, rocky spots on the way down.
During the ascent, …

June 25, 2022,Geierstein von Lenggries über Maximiliansweg

Boorr, what kind of ascent is that!?
I had read that the Maximiliansweg captivates with roots and at the beginning I thought "well, it's not that bad", but that was just a small foretaste of what was to come 😅🙈.
In addition, the route is not always clear.
So watch out!
Due to the thunderstorms the day before and the …

Very steep, long and difficult ascent and descent. For good physical shape. At the top there is a path along the ridge, very beautiful, but technically difficult.

September 1, 2022,Geierstein – Runde von Lenggries

The weather was certainly not ideal for the Geierstein today, as this mountain offers a wonderful 360 degree panorama, e.g. on Lenggries and Bad Tölz. It is important to pay attention to the running direction, otherwise the descent could be a bit strenuous.
