Old Quarry

Highlight • Structure

Ideal for a scavenger hunt with the kids or for a scary tour on Halloween 🎃. A great, mystical quarry!
Also very worth seeing during the day, then you can even see something 😜

Entrance to the Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

Very nice route through the quarry. Here nature is left to itself. You always have to scramble over fallen trees to continue on the path. Really fun for the kids.

After my first scary MTB tour on Halloween 🎃👻which took me over the Wernloch at 6pm in the evening, in the middle of the dark, today there was a hike over the Wernloch in daylight, a thousand times more beautiful than in the dark and I was able to tick off my terrifying encounter with the Wernloch, it was definitely …

Our four-legged friends 🦮 had to clear their heads from the New Year's Eve shooting 🧨 yesterday. That's why they wanted to do a round with more action today. I suggested Wernloch 😏 and they were immediately enthusiastic about it 😃. Judging by their Sturm und Drang in the adventurous terrain, it must have helped 😉.

If the weather turns bad again... you'll have an extra kick at the Wernloch "adventure playground" ⚽️. I always find a lap over the four ridges ⛰️ to Wendelstein really cool 😎. A truly mystical landscape that makes you think of Middle Earth, always in anticipation of fairies, elves 🧚‍♀️and other creatures 🧌. Since the possibilities are almost unlimited, there …
