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 secured by wire rope. Afterward, relatively leisurely paths lead through the forest to the Kolbensattel hut.
Highlights:
- Great mountain panorama
