Laintal and the Lainbach Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The Laintal is wildly romantic and very well suited for a short hike. The water ripples slowly next to the hiking trail. You can also see the Lainbach waterfall at several points along the way.

...not quite as high up today, but in all directions: Estergebirge, Karwendel and Wendelstein with Zugspitze were scattered around us today when we were on the Hoher Kranzberg.
We took the chairlift up to about halfway, and from the very top we had the best view today.
On the way back we hiked past the Lautersee again. Here we wanted …

A beautiful circular hike that is also suitable for the whole family.
As highlights I would name the view from the Kranzberg and the Lautersee.
I also allowed myself a small reward there.

Today we went around the corner to Mittenwald. The goal was the Hoher Kranzberg. With its 1391m, it is not that high but very beautiful! The climb is worth it! If you prefer it more comfortable, you can also take the lift.
From the top you have a wonderful all-round view. Splendid!
Many thanks to Anni, who gave us the …

As a self-confessed non-sports person, it was very exhausting for me, but it was worth it. Very nice route, lots to look at and also enjoy.

Beautiful tour in Mittenwald
Great to walk on the snow at the top. The deeper you got, the more slippery it got.
But despite all efforts. worthwhile. Hopefully there will be more snow ❄️ and sun 🌞

Beautiful hike on the Kranzberg. The view makes you feel like you've conquered an Alpine peak, but it's actually quite easy

September 9, 2024,Von Mittenwald auf den Kranzberg/Lautersee 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️🥾😀

Today's tour started from our accommodation in Mittelwald. We went up through the beautiful spa gardens... then through the beautiful Lainbachtal with the small stream and waterfall to the Lautersee and the chapel... This section was great. At the lake we then went up a narrow, steep path to the Kranzbergspitze. We were positively surprised by the panoramic view all …
