Grottenweg (Grotto Path) in Naturpark Ammergauer Alpen

Königssteig Trail to Kofel

Highlight • Trail

In this middle part you walk through many switchbacks, which bring you closer and closer to the summit - the path is not that steep in this area and is very easy to walk on!

View of Graswang Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

Either the point is wrong or the vegetation was really thick today. Yes, you can see through the trees, but there are better vantage points.

Kofel summit cross

Highlight • Summit

The climb was worth it. Great view. The last few meters of the climb are secured with ropes... but it's doable.

Kolbensattel Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The hike over the Kolbensattelhütte on the Steckenberg is not recommended. Partly VERY steep ascent, barely visible paths and mud make the ascent difficult. The ascent from Unterammergau is nicer.

February 2, 2025,Auf den Kofel – Rundtour in den Ammergauer Alpen

The tour started below the Kolbensattelam. It was very foggy at first but soon the blue sky appeared. We continued to the Kolbensattelhütte. This offers a great playground, views, pure tobogganing fun and delicious food. You can also get to the Kolbensattelhütte by lift. We continued to the Kofel. Below the summit you have to climb a little bit, which …

September 2, 2023,Gipfelkreuz Kofel Runde von Oberammergau 🥾⛰️🍁☀️

The Kofel (1342m) is the striking rocky peak directly above Oberammergau and, despite its low altitude, has a great view. But you have to earn it, because the climb to the summit is very well secured with many steel cables, but you still need to be absolutely sure-footed and not afraid of heights in order to master the “easy” climb. …

April 7, 2024,Oberammergau - Kofel - Kolbensattelhütte

Moderately demanding tour in the Ammergäu Alps in almost summery conditions:
Start in Oberammergau at the cemetery or youth hostel (day ticket parking 7€)
Past the Mariengrotte, approx. 400m ascent to the intersection. You can choose to continue straight on to the Kolbensattel, over the Rappenkopf (and Brunnberg, Zahn) to the Kolbensattel or climb to the Kofel.
The ascent (another …

Because of the extensive breaks, the tour took a very long time; I often enjoyed the view.

Very nice tour over Kofel to the Kolbensattel. A little climb with good security on the way up to the summit. A fast descent on the Alpine Coaster, if you don't have someone braking in front of you.

August 9, 2021,20210809 Wanderung Kofel und Kolbensattelhütte

Today's hike went from the hiking car park at the cable car to the Kolbensattel in Oberammergau up to the Kofel. The ascent was very rocky and steep for the last 100 meters, but the view was sensational. From the Kofel we went over to the Kolbenhütte, from there to toboggan with the Alpin Coaster back into the valley.

September 27, 2021,Von Talstation über Kofel zur Kolbensattelhütte

From the valley station of the Kolbensatttelbahn it went over the Grottenweg and the Königssteig up to the Kofel. The Königssteig runs up like a serpentine, so that you don't even notice the height at the beginning. You need some climbing further up. The path runs almost continuously through the forest. Then we went to the Kolbensattelhütte. Once there, take …

October 3, 2024,Kofel-Kolbensattel-Alpine Coaster

A really beautiful tour. It has everything: a small gorge, a beautiful hike, a bit of climbing, a little hut magic and fun tobogganing down into the valley. All of this in three to four hours is the ingredients for a perfect day.
