NEARBY MUNICH: HIRSCHBERG MOUNTAIN
The Hirschberg is a 1,670 metres (5,479 ft) high mountain south of Lake Tegernsee and about 40 miles south of Munich. Enjoy wonderful views across the Bavarian Alps and Lake Tegernsee!
The summit may be reached via a gentle mountain path either from Scharling, Kreuth or Bad Wiessee, all three routes being classified as not difficult. Below the summit at a height of 1,520 m is the Hirschberghaus
restaurant, which is open all-year. The Hirschberg is the Tegernsee's
observation point with an extensive panorama in all directions of the
compass. In winter it is climbed by skiers from Kreuth via the Rauheck
Alm or on foot from Scharling. The path is a gentle walk via the
toboggan run (Rodelbahn) as far as Hirschlacke, then becomes steep and, in places, icy as it runs along the so-called Kratzer to the Hirschberghaus
and finally along the open ridge to the summit. The summer route is
susceptible to avalanches in winter and should not be used at that time
of year.
The aforementioned Kratzer is a 1,544 m high sub-peak of the Hirschberg with a summit cross and the Hirschberghaus, where traditional german food is served.
How to get there by car (route suggestions): Route A: ~1 hour, Route B318, 62,1 km Route B: ~1 hour 15m, Autobahn A8, E45/52, 70,5 km
