What mountains are there in Mittenwald?
Because of its fantastic location in the Bavarian mountains between the Karwendel, Wetterstein Mountains and Ammergau Alps, Mittenwald is ideal for hiking. Mittenwald's local mountain is clearly the Hohe Kranzberg, which is 1,391 metres high. From here you have an excellent view of the Wetterstein and Karwendel mountains. But the Schöttelkopf (1,907), the Krapfenkarspitze (2,110) or the Reiß Lahnspitz (2,209) are also in the immediate vicinity of Mittenwald. In addition, the Westliche Karwendelspitze or the Hohe Fricken are particularly worth a trip.
Tours around Mittenwald
Mittenwald's local mountain can be reached easily and quickly from the valley station of the Kranzberg cable car. The 14.4 km long panoramic loop leads to the 1,391 metre high Kranzberg, with views of the valley and the snow-covered Karwendel. The loop continues to the Ferchensee and Lautersee lakes, with opportunities to stop for refreshments in cosy huts and mountain inns.
On the tour you will do a few metres of hiking!
The circular walk from Mittenwald to the legendary Leutaschklamm gorge and back is a must, even if the hiking trails there are sometimes quite crowded. Actually, there are two different routes to the gorge.
In the old Leutaschklamm gorge is the national border between Germany and Austria. This is quite exciting, as is the wildly gushing blue-green water of the gorge and the narrow rock walls. The path leads to the waterfall and back.
On the marked forest trail, hikers also learn about the water goblins and the gorge spirit on information boards. The highlight of the hike is the panoramic bridge above the Geisterklamm, with a great view of the Karwendelspitze.
It is precisely because of the many stories that hikes in the Leutaschklamm are also very popular with families with children.
Franzosensteig circular trail
Mittenwald is surrounded by the Karwendel and Wetterstein mountains. However, hiking tours to these peaks are very arduous, so a tip for interesting hiking tours is the path to the 1,580-metre-high Grünkopf.
The trail is also known as the Franzosensteig, because in 1805 a Mittenwald hunter led the enemy on this trail to the rear of the Mittenwalders. It begins at the foot of the Untere Wettersteinspitze and leads to the Leutascher Schanz and on to the Grünkopf. The route continues downwards over the ridge to the Ederkanzel. A wonderful view and a cosy mountain inn await you there. It takes at least 5 hours to cover the entire distance of 12.2 kilometres, and you should be in good shape to do so!
The stunning peaks of the Wetterstein Mountains can usually only be reached after long, arduous hikes. However, Grünkopf awaits hikers in the far ...
