February 12, 2022,Leitzachtaler Premiumweg

The tour is almost 14 km long. Unfortunately, GPS spins when recording indoors. It would be nice if Komoot got a grip on that. That's what I expect from a premium version of the app. We were on the road for about 3 hours and 30 minutes, including a break.

With a few exceptions, you are on beautiful, narrow paths here. A highlight in addition to the wide views is undoubtedly the Birkenstein pilgrimage chapel. However, photography is not permitted inside. You feel like you are in a jewelry box.
The path through the Leitzachtal is also beautiful.
Back in Fischbachau directly over the first bridge to the left - …

June 17, 2023,Tag 9 Panorama Leitzach Runde & Schwaigeralm 🐓⛰

Day 9 … Today we cycled to Fischbachau for the Panorama Hike Leitzach. It started in the town center and first went a good distance along the Leitzach. Then we went to the Schwaigeralm via side paths. First of all there was a light and delicious homemade Kasspressknödl with bacon cabbage salad. Anyone who knows the ZDF series Frühling will …

Idyllic and somehow off the beaten track, we head along a river that flows quite wildly at times, to the foot of the Wendelstein, and through rustic forests. Even the occasional rain can't spoil it. Nice!

A well-marked hiking trail (Alpinfade), partly gravel and partly paved. The tour passes by farms, meadows, and forests. The only thing missing a bit is stopping at inns.

September 25, 2024,Auf dem Premiumwanderweg Leitzachtaler Bergblicke entlang der Leitzach und über Almen zur Wallfahrtskapelle Birkenstein (RB Fischbachau – RB Fischbachau)

[Hiking on September 18th]

The Leitzachtaler Bergblicke premium hiking trail is one of the few excellent premium trails in Bavaria, probably because against the backdrop of the Bavarian mountains, every hiking trail deserves the label "premium" anyway. For hikers who arrive via the Fischbachau train station, which is located a little outside the town, an access route of around 1.5 …

May 22, 2024,Leitzachtal – Wild &Ruhig..Wasser im Bett&von Oben

Ya Servus, that was a varied hike. Along the Leitzach, flat terrain but green on both sides, which looks wild and quiet. Then it went a bit uphill, on the other side, with forest meadows and changing weather. Sun, wind and rain, everything you need.... Great in my opinion👍👍👍👍👍now another 🍺....🤩😎🤘
