Highlight (Segment) • Summit

Put on good shoes and the last climb is no longer in the way.
The small climbing passage is sure to be fun for many children. A rope is attached to the rock.

Nice tour, certainly also in summer. I left today at 6 and luckily I was the first. On the way back I met a lot of hikers and ski tourers.

I actually wanted to go back via Maximiliansweg from above, but it wasn't really recognizable, so it went down as well as up.

I haven't been here for at least 10 years and back then it was mainly tobogganing 🛷🛷 (just one attempt with the bikes, we'd rather leave that aside 🤭). In other words, going up and down the forest road makes sense with the winter sports equipment. But tobogganing isn't going to work out so well this winter. So I'll take …

Fantastic weather today and few people on the way. I went with Grödeln and Zipfelbob. There was no need for snowshoes.

First of... let's see how many tours in the Ammergau Alps 😄. We started early 🥱 because it was supposed to be warm. And it was, from 8 a.m. First we went through the Schleifmühlklamm, which is not particularly big but beautiful 🤩. Then there was a long passage on a forest and farm track, accompanied by the blazing sun …

After climbing the Teufelstättkopf last year in glorious weather, I had the pleasure of doing the same tour with my brother today. This time, however, the conditions were completely different. It was about 12°C and there was no visibility, and it was drizzling at times. But that didn't matter to us; we were still enjoying the fresh air. First, we …

In the best weather and summer temperatures, we headed to Unterammergau. Just outside of town, we started our hike with a visit to the Schleifmühlklamm Gorge. This trail led us through the shady forest along the Schleifmühllaine stream, climbing gently but steadily in pleasant temperatures.
