View of Seebenwände with Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Racy sports via ferrata, which rises steeply and exposed along a waterfall 250 meters up the Seebenwände and thrilled with spectacular views of the neighboring Zugspitze massif

Max-Klotz Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Most beautiful route section on the tour from Ehrwald to Knorrhütte

The Gatterl is a border crossing between Germany and Austria that is worth seeing and offers a great view of the Reintal, the Zugspitze and the surrounding mountain ranges. The path from the German side is bare, full of rubble and leads to the Knorrhütte. In the Austrian direction, after a short climb, there is a landscape of green mountain slopes, in which many small streams have their source. Both sides and the Gatterl are highly recommended!

View of the Zugspitze from Ehrwald

Highlight • Viewpoint

On the way to the Coburger Hütte you have a very good view of various mountain peaks in the region. Of course also on the Zugspitze, which can always be seen in the Ehrwald valley from almost all directions.
