LeonhardsteinPhoto: Egbert Krupp, Der Tegernsee
"Bavarian Matterhorn"
Just over 100 years ago, the poacher Lampl from Reichersbeuern, whose real name was Hans Burger, set an unparalleled record at Leonhardstein after illegally shooting a chamois. With a spectacular jump from the summit rock, the impact of which was cushioned by a spruce, Lampl escaped his pursuers, the royal hunters, and ran the 25-kilometer journey home through the mountains in only 90 minutes. The prosecutors were at a loss for evidence, as the waitress of the Reichersbeuern inn testified that the alleged poacher asked her the time upon his arrival, which she remembered exactly. The court ordered a top runner to verify the time: the professional took hours longer! Yet no one secretly doubted that Lampl was that poacher on Leonhardstein.

Tips and suggestions
Roadbook
From the center of Kreuth, follow the street "Am Kirchberg" until it turns into a field path. It continues pleasantly at first until the slope gradually increases and the alpine pasture of Duslau-Alm is reached. From there, a narrow path (608) leads through the forest into the mountain world. At the saddle, turn left; here begins the last ascent to Leonhardstein. Hiking on the steep path requires some practice at the end; occasionally, hands need to be used for support. At the summit, a narrow rock pinnacle, space for hikers is limited. However, the beautiful view over to the nearby Buchstein and as far as the Zugspitze or also to the east compensates for the effort. The ascent path is recommended for the return journey.
