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.

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 …

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

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 …

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 😁
