Geographically, Ohlstadt lies at the foot of the Bavarian Alps and is surrounded by breathtaking scenery. The region is characterised by its lush meadows and green hills, as well as majestic views of the snow-capped peaks of the mountains. The village itself is a charming little gem with traditional wooden houses and cobbled streets.

One of the most famous sights in Ohlstadt is Linderhof Castle, a magnificent royal residence of King Ludwig II, which is just a few kilometres away. Another highlight is the Ettal Abbey Church as well as Andechs Monastery - both offer impressive architecture and works of art.

Cultural highlights are also available in Ohlstadt: for example, visit the local history museum or enjoy classical music at a concert in the Oberammergau Kurhaus.

When it comes to culinary delights, be sure to try a typical Bavarian pork roast or have a beer in a cosy brewery.

The best season for outdoor activities such as hiking and cycling is during the summer (June to August). There are many routes to choose from - including some challenging mountain walks. For water sports lovers, the nearby Staffelsee is a must.

If it rains, you can settle down in a cosy café or spend a day at the WellenBerg leisure pool.

Overall, Ohlstadt is definitely worth a visit and offers something for everyone - from culture to outdoor activities. Visit this charming town and experience the beauty of Bavaria up close!

    Eine schöne Tour. Meine Uhr hat 18,75 km gemessen. Ich habe knapp 9 Stunden gebraucht. Dabei sind 40 Minuten Mittagspause und 15 Minuten Pause auf der Hütte eingerechnet.

    Großartige Tour. Klar, der Abstieg zieht sich. Aber die Aussichten und die Gratwanderung sind es mehr als wert.

    Thanks for the route. It was a beautiful day. A challenging climb, which my 12 year old managed nevertheless, and my older kids took in their stride. Worth noting they only accept cash at the top of the cable car.

    Beautiful ridge walk; did the reverse order (Heimgarten then Herzogstand) to enjoy a drink at the Berggasthaus before heading down. Less ice / snow than is usual for this time of year; only needed spikes at the peaks and ridge

    Sehr schöne Tour, wir sind aber auf Empfehlung von „Heimgarten-Dauergästen“ die Runde andersherum gelaufen. Steile Passagen mit vielen Stufen, vor dem Gipfel viele geteerte und gepflasterte Passagen. Je höher man kommt, desto schöner wird’s die Aussicht. Wir haben insgesamt sechs Stunden (reine Gehzeit) benötigt. Mit normalem Tempo halte ist 5 - 5 1/2 Stunden für realistisch.

    Eine tolle Tour, die schon in der 1. Hälfte ganz schön anstrengend ist. Obwohl die Gratwanderung mit schwarzem Punkt gekennzeichnet ist, ist sie gut machbar. Mich wundert nur immer wieder mit welchem Schuhwerk viele unterwegs sind. Diese Tour eignet sich nicht für Freizeitschuhe. Man braucht guten Grip, sonst rutscht man schnell mal auf dem Geröll weg. Wir haben mit mehreren kleinen Rasten 6 Stunden gebraucht. Reine Gehzeit vielleicht 4,5 Stunden.

    Teilweise steiler Anstieg durch den Wald, Kondition ist gefragt. Zeitlich zu optimistisch. Wir haben länger gebraucht. Gut: überwiegend schattig. Schlecht: keine Einkehrmöglichkeit

    Super schöne Runde, viel im Schatten, im Sommer genug Wasser mitbringen, da es auf dem Weg keine bewirtete Hütten gibt (erst Heimgarten). Beim Aufstieg auf den letzten Metern ist etwas Kraxelei gefragt.

    Ganz tolle Tour. Ein Klettersteig wird am Anfang in die Felswand gerade gebaut. Mitte Ende Mai viel Waldmeister & Walderdbeeren beim runtergehen. Tolle kleine Tour
