Hike Description

The Seebergspitze (2085m) on the Achensee is one of the most beautiful panoramic mountains on the Achensee. Fiord like views, beautiful paths and great nature make this round tour one of the most beautiful tours around Munich. From the parking lot we head to the forest trail following the signs "Seebergspitze-Hochried, Ebnerblick". In the following three branches ignoring branches, steeply through the forest up to the Ebnerblick (1050 m) where we can see the lake for the first time. We continue upwards and keep to the right at the next branch to the tree line. From now on, a magnificent panoramic hike begins which leads through a mountain pine zone, later always along the ridge always slightly ascending to the Seebergspitze (Seeberg 2085 m). Here we can enjoy the magnificent view of the Achensee, the Rofan (with Guffert, the Matterhorn of Achensee and many others ), the Karwendel summits and as far as the Zillertal south. Then we go down through the beautiful and varied route from the summit to the west first on the ridge, and later down through a dense mountain pine zone down to the Passilsattel (1680 m). There turn left towards the south in numerous hairpin bends down into the Gerntal valley, which can be reached shortly before the Alpengasthof Pletzachalm where we make a rewarding stop for food and drinks. We turn left over a bridge and keep right, past a small chapel to the Pletzachalm alpine settlement with the small, rustic alpine hut as a refreshment stop. From there on the beautiful upper Seebergsteig back to the starting point.

This hike is not for beginners and there will be a certain amount of snow so that people should have had previous experience already with hiking in winter conditions. I will update about conditions along the week by the way according to weather developments anyway.
