Hiking with a delightful view of the Zugspitze. This stage leads through forests and pastureland at lower elevations of the Blaue Land region, with the Zugspitze in sight.
Attention: The Franz-Marc footpath, which runs above and parallel to Hagener Straße, is expected to be closed for about two months starting Thursday, September 16, 2021, due to the relocation of a gas and a water pipeline. The market town of Murnau asks for understanding and patience.
We recommend hiking north via the upper Leitenweg.
