Magnificent summit hike in the Ammergau Alps
This beautiful hiking trail leads to the marvellous Brunnenkopfhütte, the former hunting lodge of Max II, which lies just below the summit of the Brunnenkopf. You can reach the summit very quickly from here, but the view from the hut is also worth the climb. You can fortify yourself here with a Kaiserschmarrn and a cold drink before the descent.
In the valley lies Linderhof Castle, which is also worth a visit.
