Hike - Loisach Circular Route near Großweil

Although you are not hiking by the sea here but along the Loisach River, and although Frisian sheep are not grazing on the meadows behind the dike but Bavarian cows, and although the views in the background are not of a wide horizon but rather of the nearby local mountains Jochberg, Herzogstand, and Heimgarten, you cannot deny this impression when you walk from the hiking parking lot at the Loisach Bridge in Großweil along the river towards Schlehdorf.

In this town, marked by the distinctive Missionary Dominican convent, hikers can enjoy not only delicious Bavarian dishes but also fine fish specialities in one of the numerous inns. They also have the opportunity to visit the impressive St. Tertulin Church or to take a leisurely motorboat ride on Lake Kochel.

Returning mostly along field and meadow paths, the route leads back to Großweil, where a visit to the open-air museum of the Upper Bavaria district at Glentleiten, a visit to a large model railway landscape, or a concluding rafting trip on the Loisach is recommended—along which you have just walked.

In an emergency, please contact the nearest rescue control center. Regardless of your location, you can reach it throughout Germany by dialing 112.

The hiking and cycling paths we describe primarily serve forest management; their use is at your own risk (§ 14 para. 1 BWaldG).
