Sinter terraces in the Ammerschlucht

Highlight • Natural Monument

The lime sintered terraces in the Ammer Gorge are a special natural phenomenon: near the lime kiln footbridge, steps have probably formed due to a reaction of the groundwater, which emerges in several places here, in connection with air. The resulting calcareous sinter runs like a fine crust over the soil and the plants growing there.

Ammer River in the Ammerleite and Talbachhänge Nature Reserve

Highlight • River

The Ammer (and its upper course, the Linder) is probably one of the last wild rivers in this country. It rises in the Ammer Mountains (Oberammergau) and flows into the Ammersee (just behind Weilheim).

König-Ludwig Trail through the Ammerleite

Highlight • Trail

The König-Ludwig-Weg leads through a wild stretch of path shaped and shaped by the murmur of the bunting for around 10,000 years through the "Grand Cayon Upper Bavaria", which almost never lets you go. Footbridges, steps and stairs in constant change with the tree-rooted subsoil of the Ammer Gorge make this piece of nature - especially after rain - a difficult, sometimes demanding hiking trail, for which good, really sturdy footwear is absolutely necessary; then it's a great way and a real highlight.

Challenging Forest Trail with Fallen Trees

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This path is really only suitable for adventurous hikers and is not entirely harmless. If you like that, you might find a highlight here, everyone else should perhaps see it as a warning and choose a different route.
In some places the path is not really recognizable, in others it is incredibly narrow (and at the same time often very slippery) or very steep, in many places the path has slipped / sagged and seems a bit unstable, numerous small streams, watercourses and mud fields have to be crossed and being climbed over fallen trees and sometimes all at once. Hiking sticks are definitely an advantage.

Ammerschlucht Gorge Trail

Highlight • Gorge

It is sometimes called Bavaria's "Grand Canyon": narrow paths wind their way through the steep hillside forest above the wild Ammer, often they are muddy, greasy. The forest is a natural forest reserve and should become a primeval forest again. Then walking through the gorge will become even more interesting. However, it is unsuitable for a comfortable walk, which is clearly indicated by unmistakable signs at the entrances.
