Hikes in Lenggries

The numerous mountain pasture hikes are ideal for families with children or if you are in the mood for relaxed tours through the mountain world of Lenggries. Easy forest paths with not too many metres of altitude lead you, for example, to the Denkalm. After the ascent via the Tratenbach stream and through dense forest at 980 metres above sea level, you can enjoy delicious Kaiserschmarrn at this family-friendly alp. The fantastic view of the Isar valley and the Benediktenwand group and the thought of the work done beforehand make the tasty dish even more enjoyable for hikers.

The Reiseralm is also particularly popular with families. If you come in the afternoon, you can watch the wild animals being fed and experience the red deers up close. Here, too, the trail takes you along forest paths, through forests and along a stream. In winter, you can hire sledges in the valley and replace the tedious descent on foot with a fun toboggan ride.

Around Lenggries you not only have the opportunity to discover the alpine pastures on leisurely tours. More difficult trails also take you higher up, for example to the 1,491-metre-high Geierstein. The unique, varied landscape and impressive views invite hikers to take short breaks along the way and enjoy the wonderful nature in Lenggries to the full.

If the hike up the Geierstein does not yet fully challenge your physical condition and strength, set off from Lenggries to the Seekarkreuz. The tour leads along quiet forest paths and meadow trails. At the summit cross, an impressive view of the Bavarian Pre-Alps and the Isar Valley opens up. Your gaze then wanders to the Latschenkopf, the Benediktenwand, the Brauneck, the Zwiesel and the Blomberg. On the way, the Lenggrieser Hütte invites you to enjoy a hearty snack.

When you are out hiking in Lenggries, you will ask yourself:

Which hike in Lenggries is particularly beautiful?

At the top of the list here is certainly the Brauneck. The mountain peak with its attached mountain railway is often heavily frequented, but this is also for a specific reason. Because from here, hikers can enjoy an incredible view of the Bavarian foothills of the Alps. Bruneck offers many different tours that you can undertake. Depending on your physical condition, surefootedness and head for heights, you can choose the hike that suits you best.

Families enjoy the Panorama Trail, which leads from the mountain station to the Tölzer Hütte and then on to the Stie-Alm via various refreshment stops. Experienced hikers who want to stay a little further away from the hustle and bustle can explore the peaks around Brauneck on the summit tour to the Tutzinger Hütte, which offers impressive panoramic views of the Langen Valley and the Karwendel.

Some of the hiking trails around Lenggries are open all year round. Spring and autumn are particularly suitable for long hikes if you want to avoid the summer heat. In winter, too, the wonderful nature can be wonderfully explored in snow and ice – with suitable equipment of course. If you are prepared to take a little extra weight with you on your hike, you will be happy to do so at the latest on a speedy toboggan ride down into the valley. The mountain peaks and tree tops covered in glorious white snow are just as beautiful to look at as the lush green mountain meadows and imposing rocky slopes in the summer.

The Mangfall Mountains begin to the east of Lenggries. This part of the Bavarian Pre-Alps is also worth exploring if you are in Lenggries. Not far from Lake Tegernsee, you can start your hike up the Hirschberg, which scores with beautiful views of the mountains as well as the lake.

If you are sure-footed and free from vertigo, you should not miss the ascent to the Bodenschneid. The 11-kilometre loop is a different version of the classic tour from Spitzingsee to Bodenschneid. Especially in wet conditions, however, only experienced hikers should go on this hike in the Mangfall Mountains.
