Panorama Trail from Linderhof to Oberammergau
Foto: Sarah Stone, Macs Adventure
Die Tour
Today you have a choice of this walk or the 'Kofel Loop Walk'. Please see seperate entry for information on the alternative walk. Enjoy a walk through the forest to Brunnenkopf, taking in the wonderful panoramic views of the mountains as you make your way from August Schuster-Haus, from Oberammergau via the Kolbensattelhütte Lodge.
Cable car to the Kolbensattel Hut, from where you can hike along a panorama trail to the Pürschlingshäuser and on to the Brunnenkopf. Your destination is the fairytale world of King Ludwig II, the Linderhof Palace. The magnificently laid out park is reminiscent of both French and Italian baroque gardens.
Here you take the bus back to Oberammergau.
The panoramic hike to Linderhof Castle leads over a ridge, which is partly narrow along a steep slope. You need sure-footedness and should not be afraid of heights. If you don't feel comfortable with that, we recommend the Kofel Loop Walk instead.
Autorentipp
Keep an eye out for some small wooden figurines along the way.
Stop at Brunnenkopfhütte, a remote mountain lodge where you can enjoy a spot of lunch with spectacular views.

Ausrüstung
Food and drink
You’ll have the option to stop just before your hike begins at the Kolbensattelhütte mountain lodge, or else at the August-Schuster Haus (Pürschlingshaus). After that, the Brunnenkopfhütte will be your next opportunity to eat and drink, as well as towards the end of your hike in Linderhof. Nevertheless, we recommend you stock up on supplies and plenty of water before setting off.
Clothing
You’ll be walking on forest trails and mountain paths. Please remember to bring sun cream, a hat and plenty of water. If you’re used to walking with poles or hiking sticks, we highly recommend you bring them along. Given you’ll be crossing a small stream, we also recommend you wear waterproof hiking boots.
Sicherheitshinweise
Today you may be walking past a few different areas where cows graze. Although generally very docile and used to walkers, keep your distance and never turn your back on a cow that is behaving strangely or aggressive. Be particularly vigilant around cows with calves.
Please note, if you want to reach the summit at Brunnenkopf, you’ll need to climb part of the way and some places are only accessible using rope supports. However, no additional equipment is required.
On the Maximiliansweg hiking trail, you’ll encounter a slope, sometimes needing your hands to guide you.
In rainy weather, the narrow trails can be muddy and slippery. Make sure to wear closed and sturdy footwear with plenty of grip. Walkers need to be steady on their feet.
