Hikes in Pittenhart

Landscape and view - art and culture...

Obing is located in the charming Alpine foothills of the Chiemgau and is an ideal place for those seeking peace and relaxation.

Panorama hike with a magnificent view of the Alps and the Chiemsee landscape...

We start the nineteenth stage in Eggstätt at the Hartseestüberl and initially circle the Hartsee. From its northern end, the route continues northwest, passing Eschenauer See towards Kloster Seeon. There, a loop through the Seeoner Seen nature reserve follows before we end the stage directly at Kloster Seeon.

A castle, a tree educational path, and a charming country chapel The first documented mention of Amerang Castle dates back to 1072. The present stately building gained its Mediterranean touch in the 16th century from Hanns Warmund von der Leiter. The "von der Leiter" family were the northern Italian noble Scaliger family – they translated their name into German after being defeated by the Viscontis and emigrating to Bavaria. Today, the largest Renaissance arcade courtyard in the Alpine region invites visitors to the castle, especially during one of the magnificent concerts held here every summer.

An easy tour that leads through forests as well as along lightly trafficked side roads.

Circular hike in the foothills of the Chiemgau Alps. Shady forest paths and sunny sections alternate.

​ ▶ We start at the Seeon Monastery parking lot 01 and turn left onto a path that runs alongside the road until we see a horse farm on the opposite side of the street. After that, we cross the street and turn onto the road toward Grünweg. At the next fork, we take the left road and walk down to the lake; keeping to the left along the lake, we reach the next Bansee 02. We pass this lake as well and hike along the Schwellgraben until, with the Pavolding town sign already in sight, we come to a dirt road branching off to the right. We continue on this path. At first, it takes us across fields and meadows, then into a wooded area. The path now turns left until we reach a fork and take the right-hand path. Until our path joins a road, we keep going straight at every fork. At the road, we turn right. Ahead of us, we can already see the Hammerschmiede 03 property. Behind it, the path climbs up to the road leading to Oberbrunn. In the village, we turn toward Pittenhart. We walk past the nursery until we reach the signpost for Windschnur. Here, we turn right and then take the path to the left up toward Forest 04. We come to a forest road and turn right. Next, a path joins from the left; we keep to the right. Then the path forks; we take the left fork. Another path joins from the left; we keep to the right. Yet another path joins from the left; we keep to the right once more. Now a path joins from the right; we continue straight ahead. Then another path branches off to the left, we continue straight ahead and reach the edge of the forest. At junction 05 ahead of us, we turn sharply left toward Obing/Grießsee. We pass the “Nature Reserve” sign and the path on the right and turn right onto the next forest trail. On the right, an almost silted-up lake comes into view, followed a little further on by Seeleitensee. At the end of the lake, the trail forks again; we keep to the right and, at Thalham( 06 ), join the paved road and turn right toward the main road, which we cross. We take the path to the left downhill toward the signpost. We choose the meadow path to Seeon. Using a footbridge, we cross the Moosbach, reach the edge of the forest, and turn left into it. Soon a path branches off toward Neubichl; we continue straight ahead, reach a paved road, and turn left. We stay on the paved road and walk out of the forest. The view from here of the monastery and Lake Seeon is beautiful. At the “Weinberg-Runde” signpost, we turn right, follow the path along the reed-lined lakeshore to the Mozarteiche 07, and continue across the Jägerbach to Klosterstraße, which leads right to the parking lot at Seeon Abbey 01, where our loop comes to an end.

Viel Spaß
