Horvath circular route
If you would rather devote yourself to literature, the Horváth circular route might be of interest. The themed trail follows in the footsteps of the famous writer Ödön von Horváth and also shows the unusual sides of Murnau.
Art walk
For those interested in art and culture, the art walk through Murnau is just the thing. From the Middle Ages to Expressionism, Murnau always attracted artists and intellectuals. This themed trail also includes a visit to numerous places where the artists of the “Blue Rider” worked.
Dragon Stitch circular route
At six kilometers long, the Drachenstich circular trail is the most scenic themed trail, as it leads largely along the Murnauer Moos and offers some highlights for art and history lovers.
Royal road
The Royal Route, on the other hand, impresses with insights into majestic architecture and fantastic views over the Blue Land. The historical paths of the Bavarian royal families are particularly clear on this themed trail.
Meditation path
Sometimes the focus is not on the many sights or the past, but rather on the journey within oneself. On the meditation path of the Ammergau Alps and through the Blue Land, the search for meaning is almost self-evident.
Want to enjoy views of sparkling blue lakes and snow-capped peaks? Mountain tours in the Upper Bavarian Alps and the Blue Land offer breathtaking vistas! Our beautiful town of Murnau am Staffelsee has proven to be the ideal starting point for tours into the surrounding mountains. No matter where you look in Murnau, the peaks of the Upper Bavarian Alps seem almost within reach. From the Murnau market square, the Ester Mountains are particularly well visible. The "Hohe Kiste," in particular, dominates the landscape with its 1922-meter height. From the Murnau Moor, the view extends to the gentle mountains of the Ammergau Alps or even as far as the Zugspitze region.
Climb the peaks with the mountain guide
Do you love the mountains? Then climb the surrounding peaks with one of our long-standing mountain guides. This means you can take in the breathtaking landscape of the foothills of the Alps during a very special mountain experience. Along the way, you'll learn a lot more exciting things about the Blue Land and its inhabitants from your guide.
The mountain tour to the popular Heimgarten mountain is always worthwhile. With the view of the lakes, the Ammergau Alps, the Wetterstein and Ester Mountains, it is one of the most beautiful panoramic mountains in the region. If you want something a little more ambitious, go to the Krottenkopf (2086 m), the highest peak in the Bavarian Prealps, accompanied by the mountain guide. The route to the three peaks of the Hörnle in the Ammergau Alps is not quite as demanding, but no less beautiful. Do you already know your way around the mountains well, are familiar with the most important rules and would you rather go out alone? You can also find a selection of mountain tours on the website Zugspitze region.
The following applies to all tours: Don't forget good shoes, sun and rain protection, hiking poles, snacks and drinks.
