You start at the Tourist information at the “Ammergauer Haus” and drive south (towards the large parking lot) to the Ammerbrücke. There you cross the Ammer and after the bridge keep left on the cycle path to the road towards Linderhof.


Cross the state highway and drive through Mühlwald and at “Dickelschwaig” forester’s lodge past until just before Graswang. Cycle over the Linder Bridge and turn left immediately after the bridge.


You will reach Graswang after a varied journey Linderhof. A short detour to the castle is worth it. From Linderhof you have to take the state road, which now climbs slightly. After a short, steep climb with serpentines, you reach the highest point at 1120 m.


A little later appears on the right side “Ammerwald Alm” on. Now a few more kilometers, past the “Hotel Ammerwald” (now downhill) until you reach the blue-green glowing and always cool temperature FLOORS .


From the Lakeside campsite A road on the left takes you along the bank with several Swimming opportunities. The forest road that follows climbs slightly after the lake. You reach a viewpoint. 


You follow the forest road through the “Neidernachtal” to Griesen.


From here you take the cycle path in the direction grainau or Garmisch-Partenkirchen until Parking lot for hikers (Railroad crossing!) at the “Ox hut”. From there you follow the forest road over a cattle gate. This forest road leads partly steeply uphill to “Rotmoos” (1210 m).


From here you cycle downhill again to Linderhof and on the familiar route back to Oberammergau.
