- 4.7 (156)·Strenuous·7.3 miPopular, adventurous hiking trail with via ferrata near Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Bavaria. This classic ascent to the Zugspitze (2,962 m / 9,718 ft) through the Höllental valley is an extensive, high-alpine undertaking that requires technical equipment and expert knowledge. Hikers must carry crampons, an ice axe, a via ferrata set and a helmet and be proficient in their use, as the route presents a combination of hazards. The route leads through the dramatic Höllental Gorge before crossing the...
- 4.6 (105)·Hard·2.8 miFun via Ferrata in the Bavarian Alps, Bavaria. One of the classics in the Bavarian Alps is the Alpspitze or Alpspitz Ferrata via Ferrata. The trail is suitable for adults and children accompanied by adults. The starting point is the mountain station of the Alpspitzbahn at the foot of the Alpspitze. After just a few meters of ascent, the striking bracket ladder of the Alpspitz Ferrata is reached. More wire ropes and a few brackets lead to the grassy ledge from where you have a great view of...
- 4.7 (33)·Hard·11.2 miVaried trekking and hiking route with plenty of climbing opportunities from the Eibsee to the Zugspitze in Bavaria. The route to the Zugspitze from the Eibsee via the Wiener-Neustädter-Hütte is less well-known than the route through the Höllental, but no less beautiful or less spectacular. The via ferrata (Stopselzieher) to the Wiener-Neustädter-Hütte is also not particularly difficult (A - B). However, a good level of fitness and climbing experience are still a prerequisite for the tour, as...

An entrance fee (cash only) is required to enter the gorge. Before setting off, it is best to pack good shoes and appropriate hiking equipment. The ascent to the Höllentalangerhütte is...
- 4.7 (20)·Hard·11.8 miChallenging loop in the Wetterstein Mountains, Bavaria, Germany This route leads into the rough area near the Zugspitze. A beautiful path along the Höllenklamm with spectacular views of waterfalls and pools. Only experienced hikers with a good level of fitness, surefootedness and appropriate equipment should hike here! The roar of the water can always be heard in the background, which has been shaping the landscape and gorge for thousands of years, and the iron bridge above offers impressive...
- 3.5 (5)·Strenuous·2.6 miThis extremely difficult via ferrata to the Bernadeinkopf 2,143 m is only suitable for experienced and very well-trained via ferrata climbers and requires a helmet, climbing harness and via ferrata set. The Mauerläufersteig is often rated D/E and is considered one of the most difficult via ferratas in Germany. The route leads over a 300-metre-long, steep to overhanging north face, which requires considerable arm strength and stamina. The extreme exposure and persistent level of difficulty...
