Highlight • Viewpoint

A run to the Hörnle from Bad Kohlgrub with an altitude difference of around 600 meters is recommended when the weather is nice. You can use the cable car down. It's gentler on the joints. From the summit you have a great view of Staffelsee and the Bavarian terminal moraine landscape.

Hörnle Summit

Highlight • Summit

The Hörnle consists of three peaks: Vorderes Hörnle (1484 m), Mittleres Hörnle (1496 m), and Hinteres Hörnle (1548 m). The Hörnle is an attractive hiking destination that can be reached on foot or by cable car.

Despite their relatively low elevation, the three peaks of the Hörnle offer beautiful viewpoints of the Tannheimer Mountains, the Wetterstein and Karwendel ranges, as well as the Alpine foothills with Lake Ammersee, Lake Starnberg, and Lake Staffelsee.

The Vorderes Hörnle (1484 m), Mittleres Hörnle (1496 m), and Hinteres Hörnle (1548 m) are each about a 30-minute walk from each other and are ideal for a circular hike with a stop at the Hörndlhütte in both summer and winter.

Hörnle Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Hörnlehütte was built in 1911 and is located at an altitude of 1,390 meters. In 1959 it was expanded with an annex with 24 beds. The Hörnlehütte can also be reached with the Hörnlebahn. There are delicious snacks and refreshing drinks here. The Kaiserschmarrn is particularly popular.
