Ruhige Forstwege, offene Wiesenpassagen und kleine Wegkreuze geben dieser Runde östlich von Steingaden ihren besonderen Charakter. Mitten im Pfaffenwinkel lädt der weitläufige Brunnhäuslwald zum Eintauchen ein – schattig, still und weit. Wer die Augen offen hält, wird auf dem Weg immer wieder mit freien Blicken auf die Alpen belohnt.
Author’s recommendation
Ruhige Waldpfade, stille Wegkreuze und ein weiter Alpenblick – diese Runde lohnt sich besonders unter der Woche, wenn man den Wald ganz für sich hat.

We start the idyllic round at the Steingaden hiking parking lot and walk along Kissinger Street. We turn left onto Buchenstraße and cross Ammergauer Straße at the crossroads near the bridge. From now on, the route runs exclusively on quiet forest paths and little-used streets. At the next opportunity, we take the path to the right and enter the extensive Brunnhäuslwald. We pass through the forest heading south. After crossing the state road again, we follow the Aubach. At the fountain, we turn right, follow the street, and enjoy the magnificent Alpine panorama. We leave this path at the avenue and follow the trail downhill back to the starting point in Steingaden.
