The Tegelberg mountain station is a popular starting point for hikers, paragliders, and nature lovers. Located at an altitude of approximately 1,700 meters, it is easily accessible by the Tegelberg cable car. From the station, guests can enjoy impressive panoramic views over the Alpine foothills and Hohenschwangau, as far as the Zugspitze on a clear day.

May 11, 2024,Marienbrücke – Wildsulzhütte Runde von Horn

This hike goes past the Marienbrücke. We walked over the bridge and from there it goes to the Tegelberg, which was also beautiful.

Demanding descent, you have to do some climbing and walk along the wire rope.

November 1, 2023,Tegelberg über Marienbrücke und teile des Grates

Today we took the last path up to the Tegelberg that we had never walked before. Past the castle over the Marienbrücke and part of the Tegelbegrat.
We tried this two years ago in March and sank deep into the snow and then turned back after a long attempt. As we now know, the decision back then was absolutely right. …

September 9, 2025,Von der Tegelberg Bergstation zum Schloß Neuschwanstein

Today, from the Tegelberg mountain station, we took the via ferrata (very challenging) down to the Marienbrücke bridge with a view of Neuschwanstein Castle, then past the castle back to the Tegelberg valley station.
Started at 12:00 PM at the mountain station and arrived at the valley station, fully exhausted, at 7:00 PM.

September 9, 2023,Wanderung zum Tegelberg

Very strenuous tour.
The starting point is the parking lot at the castle. Climb over the Marienbrücke to Tegelberg. Small detour to the Brandnerschulter at 1840 meters. The descent went along the Guardian Angel Trail past the Rohrkopfhütte to the parking lot at the Tegelberg valley station.
Unfortunately, the entire route was not recorded, it was 15.6 km in total …

July 27, 2023,Neuschwanstein – Tegelberg - Tour ab Schwangau

The next tour with over 1000hm. After my muscles burned on the Nebelhorn, I have to say that the Tegelberg is much more pleasant to walk on. Although there are short scrambles in between, the climbs are varied, as are the surfaces, between soft coniferous forest and rocks. Super nice views and Neuschwanstein complete the whole thing.

August 25, 2025,Von Tegelberghaus zur Marienbrücke Allgäu

I took the cable car up to Tegelberg, where I first completed the short Königsrunde (King's Loop) and enjoyed the view before starting the descent towards Marienbrücke and Hohenschwangau.
This tour was the hardest and most strenuous I've ever done. Since it was all downhill, I thought it would be easy. Far from it. Mostly rocks and scree, one section …
