The Hoher Gang offers a pleasing start through a beautiful old pine forest and then along a well-secured steep ascent to the edge of the rock wall. From there, it is an easy walk to lake Seebensee. Strenuous, but absolutely worth the effort! Do not forget to take a break at the bench "Coburger Bank" half way up, with impressive view of the Wetterstein massif (Zugspitze is not visible from here).

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.

Immensteig Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

On the way to Seebensee there are two possible via ferratas ("Hoher Gang" and "Immensteig"). If you would like to run both, you should definitely choose the Immensteig as the descent, as it is less demanding downhill and smaller climbing passages have to be crossed. With both ways you should leave the white sneakers at home and put on sturdy shoes. Climbing equipment is not necessary. Some of the paths are rope-insured.

Parked in a small, free public car park.
Went straight down the wrong path and made a small detour.
We went up to the lake through a rooty forest and the easy climbing on the high gear via ferrata (lightly secured and not a real via ferrata).
We continued past the Coburger Hütte and the Drachensee towards the summit. Through …

Climbing equipment is recommended. Particularly slippery spots in the morning. I wouldn't really want to go up the trail if it's raining. There is another small lake further up. Wonderful to cool off 🤤
