Bavarian Prealps

Location of the Bavarian Alps within the Eastern Alps

The Bavarian Alps are a to 2086 m above sea level. NHN high mountain range in the Northern Limestone Alps in Germany and with offshoots in Austria.

They include the Bavarian Alps proportion between the Loisach the west and the Inn on the east; the mountain is about 80 km long and 20-30 km wide. The term is not politically but alpingeografisch defined, because small parts of the Bavarian Alps are in the Austrian state of Tyrol (eg the rear Sonnwendjoch south of the Croda Rossa ).

Do not confuse the term with the Bavarian Alps and the Bavarian Alps. These terms include the entire Alpine share ( with parts of the weather stone, Karwendel, etc.) or the entire Alpine foothills in Bavaria territory.

The peaks of the Bavarian Alps remain - except in Estergebirge in the far west - at the height of 2000 m above sea level. NN and show only few distinct limestone cliffs.

Subdivision

The westernmost part of the Bavarian Alps is the Estergebirge with the Krottenkopf ( 2086 m above sea level. NN ), the highest peak of the Alps. North-east of this mountain the group of Herzogstandbahn (1731 m above sea level. NN ) and home garden is (1790 m above sea level. NN ).

The eastern part of the Bavarian Alps between the rivers Isar and Inn is the Mangfallgebirge with the Tegernseern mountains; because the streams Rottach, Weißach, Schlierach and Leitzach open into the Mangfall that drains the whole area and is an important aquifer for the metropolis of Munich. The highest peak is the Rear Sonnwendjoch (1986 m above sea level. A. ), which is, however, already on Austrian territory.

Intermediate ester Mountains to the west and the east Mangfallgebirge the elongated group of Benediktenwand is north (1801 m above sea level. NN ).

In most of the summits lead good and simple (also family-friendly ) way. Some of the peaks also offer beautiful, most well- equipped climbing routes in a large difficulty region ( UIAA II to X ): Horse- and Buchstein, Plankenstein ( Direct East Ridge: IV , needle south wall: X), Ruchenkoepfe ( Munich crack: III, Dülfer crack: IV ). A classic skiing tour is especially the Croda Rossa Reib'n, which leads to the Croda Rossa.

Long-distance and long-distance trails

The Via Alpina, a cross-border long-distance trail with five sub- paths through the whole Alps, also passes through the Bavarian Alps.

Stage A56 runs from Lenggries Tutzinger Hütte on Brauneck
Stage A57 runs from the Tutzing hut to Herzogstandbahn on the Kesselberg height
Stage A58 runs from Herzogstandbahn to Weilheim hut over Eschenlohe
Stage A59 runs from the Weilheim hut to Garmisch -Partenkirchen on the Wank

The dream path Munich - Venice also runs through the Bavarian Alps. While this is not an official long-distance trail. The in 1977 for the first time propagated path he has now gained a greater awareness than many created by migrant associations or states way.

The third day of the dream path leads from Geretsried to Brauneck Summit House on Bad Tölz and Lenggries. The greater part of this stage is still in the foothills.

The 4th day runs from Brauneck Summit House on the Benediktenwand in the Jachenau.

Day 5 leads from the Jachenau after Vorderriß where the road in the Karwendel occurs ultimate goal is Hinterriß.
