King's Path from Elmau to Schachen

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

First, it goes crisp up to the royal house with a great summit panorama at the end of the rise. Already at the driveway the anticipation of the descent on this beautiful mountain path increases.

July 14, 2022,Mittenwald - Schachen

Actually, we wanted to let our MTB vacation roll out easily, but the weather was great, we felt fit, so we made our way to Schachen. Since we already knew the tour from last year, we decided this time to go all the way up with the MTB. As expected, it was exhausting and sweaty and we pushed some of …

September 6, 2024,Mittenwald zum Schachenhaus 🏚️

6th day Mittenwald
The desire to visit the Schachenhaus 🏚️ was so great that we set off with low-hanging clouds ☁️. We chose the coolest day 😕. But with a 1000m climb, you start to feel warm just by looking at the elevation profile 😃
We pass the Lautersee, Ferchensee and over the Bannholzweg and quickly reach the Königsweg. Now …

A scenic tour. From Mittenwald, past beautiful bathing resorts and Ellmau Castle, to the Königspfad (King's Path). This path becomes increasingly steeper towards the end. A particularly technically challenging tour, but it does require some stamina, and the view of the Zugspitze from the top is breathtaking.

April 30, 2025,..über die Seen zur Wettersteinalm..

The start and finish was the "Porta Claudia." From there, the route continued to Lautersee, then on to Ferchensee, and up to the Wettersteinalm at almost 1,500 meters. The return route passed Elmau Castle and the lakes again. A wonderful loop through a fascinating landscape!

Last day, and I did the Königstour (King's Tour), which was really strenuous, but the view was worth the effort. I don't think I'll get around to it again, but the memory will stay. Thanks Gerhard for the company, until next time.

Emperor weather, imperial tour to the royal family at Schachen had been on the agenda for a long time.
Set a hook today 🤗
Started from Mittenwald via Lautersee and Ferchensee down to Elmau. From then on, go up the mountain 😅 The place up there makes up for the effort 😁

Scharnitz - Mittenwald - cycle in. Then with a bow around Elmau up to the royal house. After an interesting tour of the house back again. It's impressive what Ludwig II had built with the Turkish Hall. From the Ferchensee on a nice S0/S1 trail down to Mittenwald. Cycle back to Scharnitz
