Unfortunately, the Pöllatschlucht is closed in 2024, so there is a small detour at the beginning.

Ascent from Neuschwanstein Castle over the Marienbrücke. The descent went via the Rohrkopfhütte

Today into the Tannheimer Tal to Nesselwängle. Previously to Schwangau and up the Tegelberg on foot. Steep but mostly shady ascent, without technical difficulties. Then a short trip to the Branderschrofen, which includes small climbing sections with rope securing. Back on the Tegelberg, a short stop for refreshments. Then down via the beautiful Maximiliansteig with dreamlike views of Neuschwanstein Castle. …

I have no idea why, after the komoot update the tour was interrupted three times and I put it together manually. Therefore walking time is the time with all breaks this time!.

The descent from Tegelberg to Neuschwanstein is sometimes quite demanding. There are places where you should be free from giddiness. Sometimes "borderline" for me today 😉.
But still easy to walk varied and exciting. The tour was great fun. 👍
It should be dry, otherwise it becomes dangerous with wet stones and roots.

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 …

Unfortunately, the Pöllat Gorge is still closed. Were there in 2021, it was already closed then. Too bad ☹️, then don't. We won't try a third time.

We were a little surprised to find ourselves standing in front of the closed Tegelbergbahn (revision until April 28th). What should we do? No matter, let's go, the only change is that we won't be taking the Tegelberggrat but just the high trail. It should be relaxed and give the body some rest. There would be a lot of people …
