Zwiesel - Blomberghaus Hike

Parkplatz Waldherralm 730m -  Zwiesel 1310m - Blomberghaus 1248m - Waldherralm


Start point: Parkplatz Waldherralm at Lehen 12, 83646 Wackersberg. Free

Start at 730m, highest point 1.310m

Distance: 10.5 km, Ascent 590 m, Descent 590 m




Very nice hike to the Zwiesel peak (1310m) with wonderful panoramic views on the way and from the top  Alps - one can see Brauneck (Lenggries) from here, Branderberger Alps, Karwendel, and even snowy peaks of Zugspitze

This is a nice, alternative hike to the typical Blomberg hike (under the Blombergbahn/Blomberg chair lift). Some people also choose to take the chairlift instead of hiking up and just walk to the restairant, Zwiesel peak, or you can go to the Blomberg Westgipfel (West peak 1248)



<<<The ascent

The ascent to Zwiesel is quite steep, but a nice workout. from there we decided to go to the Berggasthof Blomberghaus, it took us about 30 minutes. Blomberghaus offers really good food, that you can enjoy on the huge terrace with a view. Great that they have now reopened! There is also the playground for the kids with swings and a slide. The way back through the forest to the parking Waldherralm took us about an hour.

Start of the hiking season 2021 - from Tegernsee to Neureuth guesthouse (1260m)


Start: Neureuthstraße 60, 83684 Tegernsee (Wanderparkplatz) – about 3EUR parking fee
Apprx. 400hm, 6km

The hiking season has started super late this year due to the coldest May ever. It was actually still snowing about a week ago above 1600m, and I don't like hiking in the snow. Snow is for skiing 😉



This is a classic short hike/walk for all who live in Munich and nearby - from Tegernsee to Neureuth guesthouse (1260m).. About 6km long, 400 high meter, we have started at Neureuth Wanderparkplatz. The start was quite steep if you take the Rodelbahn route.. some websites describe it as family-friendly and stroller friendly but I would really not want to push a stroller up such a steep hill..

You can also start this hike in a bit different way, from the direction of Tegernsee train station. It tends to bea bit less steep that way. And this is also a good alternative for those who come with a BOB train and not by car.

The Neureuth guesthouse and restaurant is currently closed due to Corona high incidence in Miesbach area, but there is kiosk where they sell beer 🍻 and some food.

If you happen to be there when the restaurant is open, I really recommend the spinach Knödel
