The Bavarian fairy-tale king Ludwig II left his descendants not only the magnificent castles of Neuschwanstein, Linderhof and Herrenchiemsee, but also many a royal riding and hunting trail, which was created especially for the eccentric monarch in the Bavarian Alps.
On parts of these historic paths, as well as on the most beautiful sections of the \"Maximiliansweg\", which was only opened at the beginning of the 90s, this wonderful pleasure hike runs along breathtaking ridges through the Ammergau Alps.
The Teufelst\u00e4ttkopf (1,758 m) and Hennenkopf (1,769 m) peaks form the prelude, with magnificent views of the Graswang valley between Ettal and Linderhof Castle with its magnificent gardens.
After spending the night at the beautifully situated Brunnenkopfh\u00e4usern (1,602 m), the route becomes more alpine with the Gro\u00dfe Klammspitze (1,924 m) and the Feigenkopf (1,866 m). The onward route to the privately run Kenzenh\u00fctte (1,294 m) from B\u00e4ckenalmsattel can be supplemented with a hike through the wild and romantic \"Kessel\" and Hasentalkopf (1,794 m). But the final day also has plenty of highlights in store and offers another highlight with the ascent of the Kr\u00e4he (2,012 m), one of the few two-thousand-metre peaks in the Northern Ammergau Alps.
Also the crossing of the Tegelberg enthroned high above Schwangau, with a view of the probably most beautiful castle in the Alps: Neuschwanstein Castle will remain in your memory. At the latest with the descent over the west ridge, with its impressive rock formations, constantly new perspectives on Neuschwanstein Castle are opened, as well as with the final crossing of the famous \"Marienbr\u00fccke\", you feel with every step the fascinating history of the Bavarian fairy tale king. As a base for this tour, the Brunnenkopfh\u00fctte and the Kenzenh\u00fctte await you.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
