Departure from Ehenbichl (Bezirk Reutte)
A lovely circular route that runs mainly through woodland, which can be a welcome relief in hot weather. The first part of the descent is challenging and can be dangerous in wet weather. On the second part of the descent, from the ruins of Erhenberg, keep well to the left so as not to miss the path.

Departure from Schwangau (Swabia)
This circular walk takes us along an easily accessible footpath up to the world-famous Neuschwanstein Castle. Along the way, we have great views of Hohenschwangau Castle opposite. From the Marienbrücke bridge, we can enjoy a breathtaking view of the castle and the surrounding Alps. The return route follows a wide forest path along the summer toboggan run – ideal for nature and culture lovers. This path is also much less frequented than the paved main path.
