Schleifmühlenklamm Waterfalls

Highlight • Waterfall

The Schleifmühlklamm is always beautiful. It is nice and shady and cool here, especially in summer. If you have dogs, it is better to stay on the road, as there are mostly lattice stairs and bridges.

February 13, 2022,Winterwanderung - Pürschlinghaus

Recommended in winter for tourers, snowshoe hikers and for downhill skiing with a bobsleigh or sled. If you are "only" on foot, then don't forget your Grödl and sticks

Unfortunately, except for the first half hour, only gravel / tar paths.
When the weather is great, there is certainly a nice view when you arrive at the hut

It was a really nice hike, but at the same time quite strenuous as it was constantly going uphill.
A highlight at the beginning is the Schleifmühlklamm. A gem 😍
And then there is the small, beautiful St. Joseph's Chapel.
We walked up and down the direct path (forest road).

The tenth stage of the Spitzenwanderweg is quite short compared to the previous ones and offers you the opportunity to climb the panoramic summit of the Teufelstättkopf right at the start. If you prefer to descend directly to Unterammergau, the route continues via the rocky Pürschling and the picturesque St. Joseph's Chapel down into the valley. Shortly before the finish, …

December 28, 2024,Handicap Test Bergtour 🤫😅Teufelstättkopf & Pürschling 🌄

I should actually go slowly because I'm currently a bit restricted, but today I got some support and chose a well-trodden tour that is possible without snowshoes! And I was sick of the mountains 🫠
What was really hard, however, was that my companion was able to go down in a Zipfelbob, which would be too dangerous for me at …
