Der Ochsensitz ist ein beeindruckender Gipfel auf 1.515m im Naturschutzgebiet Ammergebirge, das zum Naturpark Ammergauer Alpen gehört. Von hier aus hast du einen fantastischen Blick auf das malerische Ettal mit seinem berühmten Kloster und das idyllische Graswangtal.

Das Gebiet ist ein wichtiger Lebensraum für seltene Tierarten wie Weißrückenspechte, Raufußhühner und Gämsen, die die felsigen und bewaldeten Hänge bewohnen. Auf den alpinen Matten gedeihen zudem botanische Raritäten wie Orchideenarten oder dem Enzian.

Um die empfindliche Natur zu schützen, halte dich bitte an folgende Regeln: Bleib auf den Wegen und vermeide Feuer und Müll. Besonders in der Dämmerung reagieren Wildtiere empfindlich auf Störungen – so wird zum Beispiel ihre Nahrungsaufnahme unterbrochen, was zu zusätzlichem Stress führt. Vermeide daher Touren bei Sonnenaufgang und -untergang und respektiere das Camping- und Biwakverbot, um die Tiere nicht unnötig zu belasten. So bleibt diese einzigartige Landschaft auch in Zukunft unberührt und wunderschön.

Genieße die spektakuläre Aussicht vom Ochsensitz – und vielleicht hörst du ja das Klopfen eines Spechts!

Kleiner Tipp: Aktiviere unten rechts den Kartenlayer "Hinweise und Sperrungen", so werden alle Schutzgebiete sichtbar und du kannst dich optimal auf deine Tour vorbereiten.
