Beautiful circular hiking trail from Oberammergau over the Romanshöhe with a beautiful view of the Ammertal.
For pleasure hikers, this beautiful circular hiking trail is a must-do when visiting the Ammergau Alps Nature Park. From the valley station of the Laber cable car or the parking lots at the WellenBerg, the path first leads to the Romanshöhe mountain guesthouse. Along the gently ascending and descending path, you always have a beautiful view of the Pulvermoos nature reserve and the mountain world of the Ammergau Alps. Especially in spring, hikers enjoy the sea of blossoms of numerous plants. The trail leads back through the Pulvermoos to Oberammergau.
Author’s recommendation
Especially in spring, the blossom splendor in the Pulvermoos is a very special experience.

Tips and suggestions
Roadbook
In Unterammergau, carry straight on through the village until you reach the railway station. Turn right into Weiherweg, which you follow until you reach the outskirts of the village. Then follow the hiking trail towards the Romanshöhe (marked by a yellow triangle).
The hiking pathway steadily ascends until you reach a cross of Christ at a point where you will enjoy fantastic views over the Ammer Valley and the surrounding countryside.
After approximately a further 2 kilometres, you will reach the Romanshöhe inn. You then have the opportunity to descend to Oberammergau directly (30 minutes). Otherwise, follow the turn-off to the left ("Altherrenweg"), where the hiking trail will take you through magnificent meadows and alongside shady ditches to St. Gregory's Chapel (erected in 1765 to protect the village against the destructive flood waters of the Laine).
The pathway leads on to Oberammergau and ends back at Ammergauer Haus.
