Beautiful tour with many small peaks - but the panorama is always very large.
Please avoid the area between the Middle Hörnle and Drei Marken from dusk to dawn. See photo
Hiking with snowshoes over the Hörnle Alm and the Hinterer Hörnle to the subsequent summit destination, the Stierkopf, is one of the most beautiful snowshoe hikes in the Ammergau Alps Nature Park.
The descent from the Stierkopf goes over the Drei Marken in the forest down to Unterammergau.
This tour was developed as part of the “environmentally friendly ski mountaineering” project German Alpine Club for the year 2015 in collaboration with local representatives (forestry, hunting and farmers).
Please respect existing wildlife resting areas and avoid the time between dusk and dawn, as wild animals are particularly vulnerable to disturbance at this time.
