Loop
This classic and scenically delightful hike leads through the heart of the Tegernsee Mountains south of Kreuth. The path connects two of the region's most popular alpine destinations, following a diverse mixture of broad forestry roads along the Hofbauernweißach stream and root-covered forest trails. A central highlight is the idyllic pasture grounds of Siebenhütten, which sits like a postcard motif at the foot of the mighty Blauberg massif, and the passage over the Gaißalm (also Gaisalm), offering wonderful views of the prominent Leonhardstein peak. In the clear mountain streams and alpine meadows, chamois, wagtails, and—in summer—grazing cattle can be brilliantly observed. The route has a moderate incline and is ideal for families and hikers seeking an enjoyable tour in an alpine setting.
