⚫ Schildenstein

I defined this tour hard, because the Wolfsschlucht is not just a simple path to walk. I also chose to go on Saturday, current forecast to Sunday is rain.
We start easy reaching the Wolfsschlucht. The path is not always clear, we might need to cross a small steam. At the end of the Wolfsschlucht, it’s going up. You’ll need to use hands and feet, it’s easy climbing. Here’s a video to have an idea. There also smaller parts with some rope.
Once on top it’s not far away to reach the Schildenstein.

🔴 Schönfeldjoch und Wildenkarjoch

We take the BergBus 396 from Munich towards the Ursprungtal, at the border to Tyrol. This roundtour in the Kufsteiner Berge leads along the ridge between the Schönfeldjoch and the Wildenkarjoch — a scenic summit hike that requires some sure-footedness (Trittsicherheit) and a good head for heights.

The trail is partly eroded and the ridge has steep drops on both sides, so caution is needed. The descent is steep with loose sand and scree (Geröll) in places. Because of the alpine character, wear good boots, and poles are recommended.

🟢 Seebergkopf

Happy new year, let’s go for a snowshoe hike.
I found this nice tour on the DAV Tourentipps.

The start is not directly to reach without a car. It’s another 3½km (45 minutes) by foot from and to the train station.
If you join by train, I assume you to have a Deutschland-Ticket. If not, please check who else needs a ticket and align to get one on time.

🔴 Stolzenberg

I don’t have that many ideas for hikes in winter, so we’re using the latest weekly “Tourentipp” from DAV München Oberland to the Stolzenberg.

It’s not a long hike, so we don’t need to go early, but we don’t want to get there, when it’s crowded. So we take the train at 07:29 to Schliersee and from there the bus.

Be aware there’s probably snow, so have good shoes, maybe Gaters and Grödl. I’ll also check for the Avalanche report on time, but it’s currently Danger Level 1 – low below 1600hm.

🔴 Tegelberg & Branderschrofen

For all prices and princesses, we pass your dream castle, the Neuschwanstein Castle, but we are on a hike, so, see it, adjust your crown, take a picture, move on.

It’s unfortunately further away than many other hikes, so we leave early. Once we arrive at Hohenschwangau, we can see the castle. On our route, we pass the castle and have a short stop at the Marienbrücke, above the Pöllatschlucht to take another picture of the castle.
We walk further along the Maximilansweg. Here we can decide, if we keep taking the Maximiliansweg or walk along the ridge of the Tegelbergkopf, which is harder that the Maximiliansweg, we can also split and meet again at the Tegelberghaus, from where it’s another kilometer distance and 180 meters up from here to the Branderschrofen. If the tour was to much, you can wait at the Tegelberghaus for us to return.
We take another route down, passing the Rohrkopfhütte and take the bus back to the train at the cable station.

🔴 Teufelstättkopf / Sonnenberg

A beautiful combined hike in the Bavarian Prealps, offering two summits in one tour - Teufelstättkopf and Sonnenberg. This medium-difficulty hike provides stunning panoramic views of the surrounding alpine landscape.

We start from Munich and take a bus to Teufelstättkopf, where our first ascent begins. After reaching the first summit, we continue to Sonnenberg, enjoying the scenic ridge walk between the two peaks. The return journey takes us back to Munich via the same route.
