- 4.5 (54)·Hard·11.7 km·Est. 6.5–7.5 hrPopular mountain tour from Farchant in the Ester Mountains in the Bavarian Pre-Alps. Up to the wildly romantic waterfalls, this is a relaxed hike, but up to the Fricken it becomes very steep and demanding. Good physical condition and surefootedness should therefore be as much a part of your luggage as sturdy shoes. The way back down is less steep, but also very nice! Start at the paid car park in the Kuhfluchtweg. There is also a WC here. Highlights: - Kuhfluch waterfalls - Views of the...
- 4.6 (14)·Hard·23.8 km·Est. 9.5–10.5 hrChallenging hike to the Krottenkopfhütte near Farchant, Bavaria. The Krottenkopf (2,086 m) is the highest mountain in the Bavarian Pre-Alps and offers experienced mountaineers outstanding views. Even though the path is not excessively steep, it can be quite strenuous due to the long ascent and the large difference in altitude (approx. 1,500 metres). The trail initially leads through flat meadows before the steeper ascent begins in the mountain forest. The trail climbs steadily - without...
- 5.0 (4)·Hard·12.6 km·Est. 7–8 hrThe trail traverses the limestone slopes of the Estergebirge, linking the valley floor to the alpine zone. The route is characterized by a transition from mixed mountain forests of spruce and beech to open meadows and dwarf pine fields near the summit. Geological features include the porous karst rock typical of the region, which influences the local drainage patterns. The path structure includes uneven, stony sections and soft forest loam, requiring navigation over exposed natural steps and...
