The nature park was founded in 2017 and covers 227 square kilometres of the upper Ammertal, the north-east of the Ammergebirge, the Laber-Aufacker massif and the Tertiary coal mountains between Unternogg and the Echelsbach bridge. The ice-age moors provide a habitat for unique plants, including many orchid species in the nature park, as well as the blue marsh star, feverfew and the yellow-flowering Karlszepter, and the traditional cultivation of the cultural landscape can be experienced with farm tours, animal visits and tastings.

  1. #1 - Brunnenkopfhütte and Greater Klammspitz

    4.5 (45)·Hard·13.7 km·Est. 6–7 hr
    Panoramic summit hike in the Ammergau Alps from Linderhof Castle. The first part of the ascent is technically easy on well-maintained paths to the Brunnenkopfhütte, which offers refreshments from May to October. However, as you have to climb many metres in altitude up to this point, you should be in good physical condition. The route then leads up to the summit on steep paths, some of which are secured by wire ropes. At the end, there is also a slight scramble, so surefootedness and a head...

  2. #2 - Kolbensattelhütte

    4.6 (40)·Hard·6.6 km
    Panoramic hike in the Ammergau Alps Nature Park, Bavaria. The views on this hike are unforgettable, and after the effort, a break in the family-friendly Kolbensattelhütte (open seasonally) is well deserved. On the way back, taking the Alpine Coaster down into the valley for an extra charge instead of walking is possible. More information can be found under Tips. The hike requires surefootedness and some fitness. Initially, it was only uphill. The summit cross is reached via passages...

  3. #3 - Sägertalstraße - Bäckenalmsattel - Hasentalkopf

    4.4 (18)·Hard·15.4 km·Est. 6–6.5 hr
    Panoramic circular hike in the Ammergau Alps Nature Park, Bavaria. Hikers who are looking for a wonderful mountain hike in the Ammergau Alps and want to hike off the beaten track to the Hochplatte or the Scheinbergspitze are in the right place here.

  4. #4 - Graswang zum Kienjoch

    4.2 (9)·Hard·16.1 km·Est. 7.5–8 hr
    Demanding circular hike from Graswang in the Ammergau Alps. The ascent is not easy - you have to climb a little in various places and a head for heights is also an advantage. You will be rewarded with fantastic views and a wonderful route via Mittageck, Kieneckspitz, Kienjoch and Geißsprungkopf. Please note: there are no refreshment stops along the way. ------------------------------ Accessible by bus and train
