Hoher Gang Via Ferrata Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The ascent from the valley station over the Hohen Gang to the Seebensee is a secured via ferrata (A/B) and a fast, steep hiking path, also further to the Seebener Alm or Coburger Hütte. Unpleasant when wet.
(The left-hand Seeben-Steig ascent, on the other hand, is a ferrata "climbing" path with a difficulty rating (D/E) and should not be underestimated).
The secured Immensteig is another hiking/climbing alternative (A/B) - it mainly shortens the easy (long) forest road to the valley station (via the mountain station/Ehrwalder Alm). The route is a little more comfortable than to the Hohen Gang, but longer.

Hoher Gang via ferrata

Highlight • Climb

Sure-footedness and a head for heights is a great advantage. On a nice weekend, many people pay attention when out and about and be careful with falling rocks

Hoher Gang Trail

Highlight • Trail

For sure-footed hikers with a head for heights, an enjoyable ascent to Seeben Lake with impressive views in all directions.
In bad weather and on wet, slippery ground, it is better to only use this as an alternative ascent!

Lake Seebensee

Highlight • Lake

Crystal-clear, blue-green water. Mystical in the fog, kitsch in the bright sun. Seebensee is a dream. Tranquil yet spectacular at the same time. From the southern shore, a magnificent view with the Wetterstein and Zugspitze mountains in the background.

Drachensee

Highlight • Lake

Once you have crossed the Tajatörl and descended to the Drachensee, you have a magnificent view of the Drachensee and Drachenkopf during the descent. You can stop off at the Coburger Hütte directly on the lake and also spend the night there.

October 24, 2021,Von der Ehrwalder Alm auf den hinteren Tajakopf und über den Seebensee zurück 😍😍😍🤕
Attention, the tour is not recommended for running afterwards. It was partly beautiful, but the choice of route was a bit unfortunate today. The descent was particularly blatant. Already had slight knee problems on the summit and the very steep descent with a lot of scree didn't make it any better. I actually wanted to take the train back down. …

On day 2 of our Ehrwald weekend we went to the Coburger hut. Fortunately, our tour planner Ecki chose the path to the left around the tajak heads, so that we only had to encounter the alpine upwelling mass hikes over the Seebensee at the end of our hike. We started at the mountain station of the Ehrwalder Almbahn and …

Wonderful tour around and on the Tajaköpfe near Ehrwald.

With the Ehrwalder Almbahn first comfortably up. From there, follow the signs to the Coburger Hütte and Seebensee.
First on a road, it soon turns into a path through a fairytale forest. The Seebensee with its crystal-clear water in green and turquoise is soon reached. Above you can already see the …

Day 2: after not much sleep in the winter camp (the generator was turned on at 5 o'clock 🙄) we went up to the Tajatörl right after breakfast. Up to this point we were on the road with what felt like hundreds of sheep in the rocky terrain, accompanied by constant whistles of marmots - but we only saw one. …

It was a great lake tour near Ehrwald, with brilliant autumn colors👍

Very interesting:
In the Brendlkar there are still numerous remains of a heavy US Air Force bomber shot down by German Air Force fighters in 1944... ✈️

Cool and sunny, that's the best way to describe today's tour! We started in Ehrwald at the cable car valley in shady -3 degrees, and after some nice climbing on the Hoher Gang trail we reached the Seebensee, the pond next to it was still frozen! We continued on serpentines to the Coburger Hütte and the Drachensee 🐉! Since this …
