- 4.7 (99)·Easy·2.5 mi·Est. 1–1.5 hrFamily-friendly loop near Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Bavaria A great, very lovingly designed forest adventure trail in Farchant that is suitable for all nature lovers, big and small.

- 4.5 (54)·Hard·7.3 mi·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·14.8 mi·Est. 9.5–10.5 hrDemanding hike to the Krottenkopfhütte near Farchant, Bavaria. The Krottenkopf (2,086 m) is the highest mountain in the Bavarian Prealps and offers the experienced mountaineer excellent views. Even if the path is not overly steep, it can be quite strenuous due to the long ascent and the great difference in altitude of approx. 1,500 meters. First the path leads through flat meadow terrain before the steeper ascent begins in the mountain forest. Continuously rising - without flattening - it...
