Hike to Leonhardstein: A breathtaking experience in the Bavarian Prealps
The mountains are calling! And for anyone who is looking for adventure and loves nature, the hike to Leonhardstein is an absolute must. This hike not only offers a sporting challenge, but also an unforgettable nature experience.
Starting point: Kreuth am Tegernsee
The journey begins at the parking lot in Kreuth, a picturesque place near Lake Tegernsee. Right at the start of the hike you get a first look at the destination: the majestic Leonhardstein. The route there is well signposted and leads through an idyllic landscape characterized by babbling streams and small waterfalls. It's like walking through a fairytale land.
The path to the summit
During the climb the landscape changes constantly. From gentle paths that lead through dense forests to rocky and steep sections that require sure-footedness. The moss-covered trees and the fascinating rock formations that were created by natural erosion are particularly impressive.
The path is challenging, but doable for anyone with the right equipment and preparation. Good footwear is important, as the ground becomes uneven and rocky, especially in the last section.
The reward of the effort: the summit
After a challenging hike you finally reach the summit of the Leonhardstein. A simple summit cross sits enthroned here, which serves as a symbol of the destination you have reached. But the real treasure of this place is the breathtaking view. In the distance you can see the Buchstein and even the famous Zugspitze. A panorama that more than makes up for the effort of the climb.
Return to the valley
After a well-deserved break and enjoying the warm rays of sunshine, we head back down into the valley. The descent follows the same path as the ascent and once again offers the opportunity to fully enjoy the beauty of nature.
Conclusion
The hike to Leonhardstein is an unforgettable experience for all nature lovers and adventure seekers. The combination of a sporting challenge and breathtaking nature makes this tour a highlight in the Bavarian Prealps.
