Description by the author

Venture to where the deer and the mountain goats play - and to an area of awesome natural beauty. It’s a long journey at about 23 kilometres, but manageable. Walking along Leutascher Ache river and Gaistalbach stream, take in old-growth forest and acres of amazing meadows and pastures en route. Follow the Ganghoferweg trail to the Hämmermoosalm hut and further into the valley to Gaistalalm and Tillfussalm huts, where you will find the former hunting lodge of writer Ludwig Ganghofer. The route continues between the Mieming Mountains and Wetterstein Mountains, with peaks that become more and more striking as you hike on. A gentle climb takes to up to the Igelsee lake, where the Leutascher Ache river has its headwaters. Amble down to Ehrwalder Alm and to the top of the Ehrwalder Alm gondola on a forest road. From there, a marvellous footpath winds down to the village of Ehrwald towered over by the Zugspitze, Germany's highest mountain.
Starting point: Ahrn
