NATURE PARK

Ammergau Alps

If you associate the Ammergau Alps with "pure nature", then you're certainly right. Immerse yourself with all your senses in the 227 square kilometer Ammergau Alps Nature Park.

First, there's the wild river landscape with the Ammer, which gives the nature park its name. It's one of the last wild rivers of its kind. The trail continues through the meadows, whose mountain meadow hay provides the basis for the hay liqueur made at Ettal Abbey . More than two dozen orchid species thrive in the moorland. The yellow-flowering Karlspeter, a relic from the Ice Age, is found nowhere else in Central Europe. The forested landscape of the Ammergau Alps offers protection from the dangers of the mountains. And finally, the mountain landscape itself. For a comprehensive overview of the nature park, head for the Kreuzspitze . The region's highest peak offers breathtaking views. A true paradise for flora and fauna. We invite you to experience it with all your senses.

Families will find a variety of attractive excursion options in our beautiful region: whether tobogganing on the summer toboggan run, swimming in the WellenBerg water park, on the barefoot path of the Soier See or on a children's tour of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Linderhof Palace – You and your children
are well entertained.
