June 19, 2025,Von Bayrischzell auf den Wendelstein (1.838m)

Today we went to the Wendelstein. From the train station in Bayrischzell, it was about 6 km to the summit, with a solid 1,000 meters of elevation gain. In 30-degree heat, the sweat poured down on this endeavor 😅 The ascent initially took us along the King Maximilian Trail. Behind the Wendelsteiner Almen, we turned right onto the World …

You can park in several places in Bayrischzell, I parked near the outdoor pool today. Ten minutes after starting, you reach the first highlight, a waterfall over several steps.

From there, the King Maximilian Trail continues uphill. Again and again, you have a beautiful panorama with Rotwand etc. in view. The Wendelstein looks impressive even from below.

Unfortunately, in one place it is a bit misleading and there is a Wendelstein and an arrow pointing up. You have to go through that. Some people walked past it. Great tour.

We set off from the car park at Bayrischell train station. After about 15 minutes, the first highlight: the Legerwaldgraben waterfalls. The water seems so clear and cool that I promised myself I would jump in on the way back. The weather is great.
The climb is steep and rocky. Luckily in the shade. I only find the first cooling …

The Wendelstein is a 1838 m high mountain in the Bavarian Alps. It belongs to the Mangfall Mountains, the eastern part of the Bavarian Prealps. It is the highest peak of the Wendelstein massif. Because of its exposed location, it offers a very good view of the Bavarian Alpine foothills and, conversely, can be recognized from a wide area. It …

August 8, 2023,Wendelstein

Today we climbed the Wendelstein directly from the guesthouse in Bayrischzell. We didn't meet any hikers on the climb. We climbed over the Bocksteinscharte to the cable car station and there they were all. But that was to be expected given the great weather. Of course we climbed to the summit even though the GPS didn't hit the tight hairpin …

We took advantage of the beautiful weather and went up to Bayrischzell and Wendelstein with our daughter.
Very few hikers up to the cable car station at the top.
At the top it was more busy but not overcrowded. Eternally far away you could even see the cloud of steam from the Isar 2 nuclear power plant in Landhut, 200 …
