One of the two top hotels, hidden in the side valley nobody suspects such well-maintained facilities. In the mountain scenery in the absolutely best location you should not omit the trail at the plant.

July 31, 2023,Von Klais über Elmau zum Schachen

King Ludwig II had been planning to build a mountain house in the Werdenfelser Land since 1869. His choice of location fell on the Schachen at the foot of the Wetterstein massif at an altitude of 1866 m - no wonder, since it offers one of the most grandiose high mountain impressions in the Bavarian Alps. Unlike his father Max …

This tour should be combined with a hike and then to the Meilerhütte. But we didn't do that today and really enjoyed cycling

June 24, 2023,Bike&Hike Meilerhütte

The goal was actually the Partenkirchner Dreitorspitze. With MTB from Klais to Schachenhaus. Was there at 9:00 am. Then up to the Meilerhütte via the Franzlalp. The innkeeper advised against climbing the via ferrata..... too many snowfields on the approach, Leutascher Platt, available. So back again will put the tour on the to-do list.

August 3, 2022,B&H&C Partenkirchner Dreitorspitze

Long hike and bike and climb tour to the Dreitorspitze. The start was in Klais with the bike, high on the Schachen and from there on foot via the Meilerhütte and the Herman Barth Weg (via ferrata AB, and very rocky) to the Western Partenkirchner Dreitorspitze.
Goal achieved: escaped the heat in the valley. Swimming in the Schachensee to cool …
