Ammerschlucht Gorge Trail

Highlight • Gorge

Ammer River in the Ammerleite and Talbachhänge Nature Reserve

Highlight • River

The Ammer (and its upper course, the Linder) is probably one of the last wild rivers in this country. It rises in the Ammer Mountains (Oberammergau) and flows into the Ammersee (just behind Weilheim).

Sinter terraces in the Ammerschlucht

Highlight • Natural Monument

The lime sintered terraces in the Ammer Gorge are a special natural phenomenon: near the lime kiln footbridge, steps have probably formed due to a reaction of the groundwater, which …

October 30, 2021,Ammerschlucht ab Schnalz Parkplatz Rundwanderung

Ammerschlucht circular route from Schnalz car park near Peiting
Magnificent tour, which contrary to expectations, apart from a few places, mostly above the Ammer, runs without a view of the Ammer. Sometimes very muddy and exposed! Good footwear is essential!
The autumn foliage color was stunning! 🍃🍂🍁☀️🤩👍

The first part of the trail is an overall highlight. On the return trip you sometimes need a stable nerves.
Highly recommended if you love adventure.

September 24, 2021,Abenteuer Runde Kalkofensteg

Today we had a little adventure. The path led us along a well-traveled street at the beginning. At the beginning of the village we then went on a normal path. In the forest, a humane path continues. Here and there a root path. Good muddy spots followed at the same time. The paths are difficult to walk. Good shoes and …

July 16, 2025,Lime kiln footbridge – Ammer loop from Rottenbuch

This is a tough walk, especially the part between miles 2 and 6, dense forest ( but beutiful), lots of fallen trees over the paths, some you have to climb over, and can be dangerous, make sure you have good agility, sturdy boots and plenty of energy. Even the 2nd half of the walk is tough, we used 50% more …

May 2, 2026,Kalkofensteg Holzbrücke – Ammerschlucht Wanderweg Runde von Rottenbuch

Today not in the mountains, but in the Ammer gorge between Rottenbuch and Peiting - in the hope of fewer people on a beautiful Saturday in early May. We did not regret our decision: on the lonely almost 15km on both sides of the Ammer we were practically alone, only at the Kalkofensteg bathing spot were we in company. The …

August 3, 2025,Ammerschlucht (Der Grand Canyon Oberbayerns)

Hike through part of the Ammer Gorge. The free parking lot in Rottenbuch is a good starting point (be sure to check out the "Maria Geburt" church). I didn't want to disturb today's service, so I only looked at the interior of the parish church online 🙃. As indicated on the signs, only sure-footed hikers with appropriate footwear should venture …
