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.

    Abwechslungsreiche leichte Tour, auch für Kinder gut geeignet. Perfekt wenn der Biergarten Guglhör offen hat ;-).

    Sehr schöne Rundwanderung, allerdings sind wir die Strecke vor dem Ort Riegsee direkt am Ufer gelaufen und nicht auf dem Feldweg. Einkehrmöglichkeit in Riegsee auch im Dorfladen möglich. Weite Strecken der Runde ist auf Teerwegen oder Straßen zurückzulegen.

    Schöne leichte aussichtsreiche Tour. Vom Bahnhof Murnau haben wir den Bus Richtung Kochel 9611 bis Abzweigung Mühlhagen genommen und sind von dort in umgekehrter Richtung wie in der Beschreibung angegeben, gestartet. Kurz nach dem Berggasthof Guglhör war der rechts abbiegende Pfad (eine Abkürzzung) kaum zu erkennen, wir gingen weiter geradeaus einen weiteren Weg runter zur Loisach.

    Eine sehr schöne Landschaft und sie ist mit keinerlei Schwierigkeit zu erleben. Viel Asphaltstraße ist allerdings dabei. Einkehr jeweils auf den 2 am Weg liegenden Campingplätzen möglich. Das Gasthaus Westner in Riegsee ist hingegen geschlossen. P.S. Ich bin nur um den See gewandert, d.h. Startpunkt war nicht Murnau.
