    WOW. Wunderschöne kleine Dörfer, dichter Wald, tolle Ausblicke auf die Berge und auf den Fluss. Die ersten Eindrücke zur Tour könnt ihr hier gewinnen: https://youtu.be/bQIjaZS5SV0 . Parken ist in der Nähe der Schlucht möglich, aber fast überflüssig, die Strecke ist einfach zu schön. Einkehren ist schwierig, also lieber eine Brotzeit einpacken und die Aussicht genießen! :-)

    Ein solches Panorama wie vom Schnalz-Gipfel gibt es selten, die Alpenkette von der Benediktenwand bis zum Säuling und weiter westlich zu den Tannheimer Bergen liegt vor einem. Im Sommer dürfte der Anstieg angenehm schattig sein. Das Ammer-Ufer ist für Kinder spannend.

    Ganz hübsche Nachmittagswanderung, Forststraßenanteil grad noch okay. Der nordseitige Anstieg zum "Gipfel" auf einem tollen Steig. Vom Ort Böbing leider erst mal mittellanges Teerstraßengehatsche, Wiesenpfad oder so Fehlanzeige.

    Nachdem Oma in die Unterammergauer Gegend gezogen ist sind wir jetzt mehr in dieser Region zu finden. Obwohl das Wetter an diesem Wochenende eher "suboptimal" war sind wir mit Zeit, Brotzeit sowie Mütze und Schal diese Runde gelaufen. Das Windrad hat rotiert, wuup wuup wuup wuup bei jeder Umdrehung. Da möchte ich nicht in der Nähe wohnen. Aber gut, irgendwo muß ja der Ökostrom herkommen für unsere ach so umweltfreundlichen Elektroautos. Wird uns jedenfalls so verkauft. Egal, Aussicht gut, der Rückweg durch den Wald dann windstill und schon erstaunlich viele Blüten auf den Wiesen. Gut gefallen hat uns das kleine "Kohle-Museum" das wir an dieser Stelle so nicht vermutet hätten.

    Schöne und auch anstrengende Tour mit ein paar wunderschönen Aussichten und Ruhepunkten. Einziges Manko: Auf den Wegen gibt es einige sehr matschige bzw. überflutete Stellen. Teils sind hier Trittmatten ausgelegt, teils aber auch nicht. Es liegen immer noch einige Bäume quer über dem Weg, die aber recht gut zu überwinden sind.

    Nach dem Storm Sabine ( Anfang Feb 2020 ) ist der Zugang runter zur Ammer von abgebrochenen Fichten und Buchen schwer versperrt. Die Wanderung ist herrlich für seine Aussichten, das Wasser, und die kühle Wald Luft.

    Tolle Rundtour, die wir am 20. April mit Hund gemacht haben. Der kurze Anstieg zum Schlossberg ist absolut lohnenswert und bietet einen herrlichen Blick auf die noch schneebedeckten Berge. Durch blühende Wiesen ging es hinunter zum türkisfarbenen Lech und durch ein herrliches Naturschutzgebiet. Bei der Villa Rustica erhielten wir eine kostenlose, spontane Führung durch ein Mitglied des Fördervereins, der dort gerade Bäume schnitt. Beschilderung hervorragend, kaum Menschen unterwegs und bis auf wenige Wegabschnitte Natur pur. Sehr empfehlenswert. Unbedingt in der beschrieben Reihenfolge gehen.
