Unprepared natural toboggan run on the forest road from the August Schuster House on the Pürschling to Unterammergau.

The August Schuster House (open and managed on weekends in winter - August Schuster House) in the Ammergau Alps Nature Park is a popular destination for tobogganers and winter hikers. After the ascent, the descent follows the same route. 

Please respect existing wildlife rest areas and avoid the period between dusk and dawn, as wildlife is particularly vulnerable to disturbance during this time.

The area is also prone to avalanches! Check the current avalanche situation in advance. Avalanche Warning Service Bavaria.

The ascent takes you along the forest path to the Pürschlinghaus. Follow the signs for the summer hiking trail, which is also accessible in winter. 

In the last third you will pass the beautiful Joseph's Chapel and finally, in a long traverse across the slope, you will climb up to the Pürschlinghaus. 

On the way back, watch out for oncoming traffic, as the descent is the same route as the ascent.
