It is sometimes called Bavaria's "Grand Canyon": narrow paths wind their way through the steep hillside forest above the wild Ammer, often they are muddy, greasy. The forest is a natural forest reserve and should become a primeval forest again. Then walking through the gorge will become even more interesting. However, it is unsuitable for a comfortable walk, which is clearly indicated by unmistakable signs at the entrances.

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).

König-Ludwig Trail through the Ammerleite

Highlight • Trail

The König-Ludwig-Weg leads through a wild stretch of path shaped and shaped by the murmur of the bunting for around 10,000 years through the "Grand Cayon Upper Bavaria", which almost never lets you go. Footbridges, steps and stairs in constant change with the tree-rooted subsoil of the Ammer Gorge make this piece of nature - especially after rain - a difficult, sometimes demanding hiking trail, for which good, really sturdy footwear is absolutely necessary; then it's a great way and a real highlight.

Ammer Riverbank and Sandbank

Highlight • River

Here can be played and bathed in a little water with sand and stones. Is great to take a break.

July 31, 2022,Peiting durch Ammerschlucht nach Rottenbuch

The Ammer Gorge is a dream and must be seen.
However, the way back from Rottenbuch, mostly along the B23, is not nice, so you should look for an alternative here.
