Description
Join me for this hike with splendid autumn views of the famous Neuschwanstein castle! And as a bonus we will summit several peaks around Füssen!
We start at the Tegelbergbahn bus stop and go up towards Rohrkopfhütte via Hornburg and Rohrkopf. From there, we proceed towards Tegelberghaus via Branderschrofen and optionally Latschenschrofen (not in GPX) if we have the time. From Tegelberghaus, we go down towards Marienbrücke with views of Neuschwanstein castle along the way (via Tegelbergkopf if the route is open, otherwise we go around the peak).
Some parts of the route are quite exposed and require scrambling. Alpine experience is required.
We can take an early lunch/ snack break at Rohrkopfhütte and another cake break at Tegelberghaus in the afternoon. The entire loop should take around 7 hours at a moderate pace (350-400 hm/hr) so please keep the entire day free.
Outgoing itinerary:
07:32 - 09:36: Munich Hbf to Tegelbergbahnhttps://www.bahn.de/buchung/start?vbid=b4bfbb62-f4ed-4660-9773-5b5dee0aa74d

Looking forward to hiking with you'll on Friday!

Hi Ester! I have not done this route before but Prem (who planned the original route) said that the way from Tegelberghaus to Tegelbergkopf is exposed. This part is rated as a T4. However, there is a less exposed route from Tegelberghaus which also meets the planned route later. You can take this route if you do not feel comfortable with the exposed parts and join the rest of the group later :)

if it is a T4 exposed route i am fine with it as far as it does not rain/if it is dry. If is is similar to Schöttelkarkopf i am fine technically speaking :) thank you

I can't compare the difficulty since I haven't done this route before 😅. The path should be dry acc to the forecast. And in the worst case, there is always the alternative path. Safety is the most important thing - we can take a call on which route to take based on the conditions and how comfortable everyone in the group feels.

Hey everyone! Sorry, I had to unjoin caught a cold, might rejoin again if i feel better.
The route is not so difficult! the short T5 section close to Branderschrofen might feel exposed but it's very well secured with cables.
Tegelbergkopf ridge is always closed but you can still go through it, i would rate it as a solid T4+, there are a couple of spots where you have to down climb/scramble but that part is not exposed. It's a nice fun trail overall!
