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