Kalkofensteg Wooden Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Descent to the Kalkofensteg: Good footwear and surefootedness are recommended, as the path partly leads over loose stones and roots. At the Ammer there are large gravel banks where you …

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 …

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).

October 29, 2023,Münchner Jakobsweg Etappe 7 Hohenpeißenberg-Rottenbuch

Perfect weather again today 🌞so started stage 7. Despite a lot of up and down, slippery and muddy paths and dilapidated footbridges and stairs, a dream day 🤩😎 Always super beautiful on the Ammer and in the Ammerschlucht 🥰 pure, wild and romantic nature. It was so nice 🤩🤗

October 30, 2025,König-Ludwig-Weg - Etappe 8 - Abenteuer Ammerschlucht

For the past few days, I've been annoyed that I'm constantly lugging around so much food and too much to drink. Well, it paid off today! 😅

The hike starts off rather disappointingly in Hohenpeißenberg. The King Ludwig Trail (KLW) leads through a mix of forest, hay meadows, and pastures. Visually, it's truly idyllic, especially since the single-track railway line …

June 25, 2024,König-Ludwig-Weg Etappe 4: von Hetten nach Rottenbuch 🇩🇪

From Kini to Maxi and back to Kini. My royal hiking year took me back to King Ludwig II today. The Ammer Gorge was closed until the end of May and so I had skipped the corresponding stage while walking the King Ludwig Trail. Today should be the time to catch up on it. Starting in Hetten, today's hike begins …

May 7, 2022,4. Etappe vom König-Ludwig-Weg: Von Hohenpeißenberg durch die Ammerschlucht nach Rottenbuch

It's been pouring in Störmen for two days, but whatever, I'll pull through. My ignorant self was talking about action yesterday. Yesterday I didn't know what to expect today: the Ammer Gorge (when it rains, a lot of rain). My guide has a clear opinion on this: No way. The signs at the gorge only pointed out the danger of …

July 14, 2023,JW Hohenpeißenberg - Rottenbuch 🏞🤩

My 5th stage began with a bright blue sky and a fantastic view of the Alps. Today we went through the legendary Ammer Gorge - wildly romantic, super idyllic, but very challenging, since the rain and storm of the past few days made some parts of the path very muddy and very difficult to walk on because of broken trees. …
