After you have already passed a large number of small mountain streams on the descent, here in the valley there is finally the opportunity to cool down in one of them - wonderfully refreshing!

June 14, 2025,2025-06-14 Kreuzspitze über den Kuchelbergrat - eine anstrengende, aber lohnenswerte Paradetour in den Ammergauer Alpen

A very scenic circular hike to the Kreuzspitze via the Kuchelberg ridge, with great views along the ridge. Surefootedness, orientation, and a head for heights are essential on the ridge and on the rocky ascent to the Kreuzspitze. The ascent to the summit is steep and crumbly; I found it rather unpleasant, especially on the descent.

June 11, 2022,Wanderung über den Kuchelberggrat auf die Kuchelbergspitz

In the best weather 🌞 we went to the Kuchelberggrat. In order to save myself the first and last 3 km of boring forest road, I made it a Bike 🚵‍♀️ and Hike 🥾 Tour. The ascent was beautiful and opened up more and more views over the Ammergau Alps to the Zugspitze. On the ridge the view is of …

June 29, 2023,Kuchelbergspitze

The supposedly last rain-free day of this week should be used: Taken off for a short time, packed the dog and put on the hiking boots bought two days earlier (mistake!).

We left the parking lot at 6:30 a.m. I followed the Fürstenweg for the first few kilometers (a largely unadorned, unprincely forest path). Somewhat hidden and without signposts, an …

November 2, 2024,Kuchelbergspitze & Kreuzspitze 👍

What can you do? In this weather with high fog, you just have to go up high and you will be richly rewarded...

Coming from the Kuchelbergspitze, the Kreuzspitze rises up quite mightily and respectfully, but with a little caution and surefootedness, the Kreuzspitze is no problem. A great summit for a view!

October 26, 2024,2024-10-26 Kuchelberggrat-Kuchelbachtal Runde

The Kuchelberg ridge is an ideal autumn tour, as its south-facing location means it is blessed with plenty of sunshine. As the road to the Graswangtal is currently closed and the planned parking lot is not accessible, I had to start at Linderhof Castle. This extended the already long access route by a few kilometers. After a branch off the …
