This quick 2-day hike is a short trek in the foothills of the Bavarian Alps, capturing the essence of hiking in southern Germany. There's a choice between two routes on the second day: One is a short mild hike with the possibility to take the cable car down. The other is a more spicy hike, yet very doable for most hikers. The overnight stay in the more than 100 years old Bayernhaus is the cherry on the cake.
Doing multi-day treks is not for everybody. But the best way to experience the mountains is to spend at least a night in them. Especially in a place like the Bayernhaus. Perched on top of a ridge you can watch the sun set over the Alps, including Germany's highest peak Zugspitze. Most huts in the vicinity of the Partnachklamm are very accessible and only require a couple of hours walk at most. Or, if you're really feeling lazy, you can take a cable car. No matter what your choice is, Bookatrekking.com makes sure your hut is booked including dinner and breakfast, all you have to do is enjoy the beautiful trails around Partnachklamm.
Itinerary
Day
1
Garmisch Partenkirchen - Bayernhaus
Duration: 02:00 h
Distance: 6.8 km
Ascent: 590 m
Descent: 60 m
From the ski jump stadium follow the Partnach river upstream until the entrance of the Partnachklamm. After paying the fee you enter the stunning gorge, which includes walking through a 250 meter long tunnel. Just before the confluence of two rivers a path bends sharply to the left and up. Pass the restaurant (or grab a drink here) and keep left after, crossing the bridge on top of the gorge. The trail climbs towards the Partnachalm, where there's yet another place to eat and drink. Turn right and take the trail to the left 200 meters further. After the steep part, keep left at the junction. 1 kilometer further keep right and you'll reach the beautiful Bayernhaus shortly after.
Berggasthof Bayernhaus
Day
2
Bayernhaus - Garmisch Partenkirchen
Duration: 03:00 h
Distance: 9.9 km
Ascent: 720 m
Descent: 350 m
Walk past the small reservoir and the base of the ski lift and turn left, away from the lift. Follow the trail, called the Ochsenweg that goes through the Wildschutzgebiet Reintal. Before a junction of trails next to the stream called Bodenlaine is a small restaurant where you can eat and drink something. Continue on the trail underneath the southern slopes of the Kreuzjoch through the forest. At the top of the Bodenlaine valley it's a steep climb to the top of the ridge. Turn right on the top and you'll be at the top of the Kreuzeckbahn and the Kreuzeckhaus for a well-deserved drink. Take the cable car down and hop on the train back to Garmisch Partenkirchen (5 minutes only). Or walk back to town.
