Hiking

A tour that is literally legendary takes you to the Stone Agnes at the foot of the Sleeping Witch in the Lattengebirge. A tour that leads almost entirely through the forest and is therefore also suitable for hot summer days.

The hike to the Stone Agnes is a real insider…

According to legend, a God-fearing and chaste dairymaid was once turned to stone here to protect her from the devil. According to another legend, a prostitute was turned to stone because she had killed her own child.

The Steinerne Agnes has the seal of approval "Bavaria's most beautiful geotopes" and is one of the most popular photo motifs around Berchtesgaden. Start at the Steinerne Agnes hiking car park, follow the forest path, then the narrow hiking path meanders quickly up through light deciduous forest. There you can admire the bizarre karst landscape. The descent is to Winkl …

November 11, 2022,#3 Steinerne Agnes Runde (von Hallthurm/Bayrisch Gmain)🌞🥾⛰️

The start was at the free parking lot for hikers in Hallthurm - then along the panorama trail to the Steinerne Agnes junction.... It was 2.5 hours of continuous uphill climbing, with great views of the snow-covered Hochkalter and its "Kumpanen" again and again. Once at the top, there was a long rest at the Agnes, and then we descended …

September 3, 2022,Steinerne Agnes -Rotofensattel

This tour was not so rocking for me, because it is almost exclusively steeply up through the forest.
Ok, the stone Agenes is a nice destination, but the Rotofensattel is in the forest with no view. If you want to get to the summit, you have to scramble quite a bit on an unsecured path, I was too unsure.
From …

May 1, 2024,Runde über Rotofensattel und Steinerne Agnes

Last tour in the Lattengebirge for now...
Nice tour on narrow paths.
Unfortunately I didn't dare go any further at the Steinerne Agnes, so we didn't have the famous view of the Agnes.....
A second attempt will definitely follow

April 17, 2025,Parkplatz Hallthurm - Steinerne Agnes - Versuch zum Karkopf und Predigtstuhl

Today's plan was to visit St. Agnes, and since I don't particularly like walking down the mountain, I wanted to continue to the Predigtstuhl. However, after getting knee-deep in snow several times and the path becoming obscure, the only option left was to descend on foot.

September 1, 2023,Wanderung Steinerne Agnes & Karlkopf

Some mountains and rock formations have the most unusual stories. According to the legends, Agnes, a dairymaid, let herself be seduced by the devil into killing her illegitimate child, which is why God turned her to stone.
This rock was on our program today. We started the hike to Steinerne Agnes at the free hiking car park, from which we …
