The three-part staircase (lower, middle, upper staircase) provides direct but steep access from Tegernsee train station towards Neureuth. At the top, a bench marks the well-deserved view over the lake towards Ringspitz and Hirschberg.

Neureuth Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

There are numerous chapels in the Tegernsee mountains, for example on Wallberg and Riederstein. The chapel on the Neureuth is the youngest member - it was inaugurated in 1976. The building was initiated by the Tegernsee Franz Kiening, who ran the inn from 1965 to 1989. He thought that the former mountain cross should be replaced by a proper chapel. For more than 40 years it has stood behind a wooden fence to protect it from grazing cattle. Its whitewashed brickwork, shingle roof and small bell tower catch the eye. On the balcony under the awning it says: “To the thoughts of those who fell in both world wars”. The former Lüftlmaler Anton Keck conjured up the patron saint of Bavaria over the green-framed entrance door.

View over Lake Tegernsee and the Bavarian Alps

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful Alm, but very crowded because here the Munich Porsche drivers like to arrive on the weekend. Almost as well as on the Neureuth - on the weekend I avoid this corner!

Gindelalm Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Between Neureuth and Gindelalm, the walk is very easy, with only slight ups and downs through the sparse forest. It is a good walk in both summer and winter.

Gindelalms

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Super friendly Almwirtin and staff with many delicious things you can enjoy. A beautiful view of the mountains.
About the Almwirtin the Bavarian Radio has produced a program within "Lifelines". The video is currently no longer available but the text is still there.

Annelies, the eldest daughter of a peasant family, learns what it means to be a farmer's wife. But the thought that she should inherit the farm once burdened her even as a little girl.

Annelies learns early what it means to be a farmer. On the 400-year-old farm of her parents, the work never goes out, and the children have to help with it. If her classmates tell about their vacation trips after the summer holidays, Annelies can not have a say.
She spends the holidays alone with her grandmother on the Gindlalm, which belongs to her parents' farm. Keep the cows, milking them, stir the churn, baking Kaiserschmarrn for the hikers. These are your holiday experiences. The idea that she, as the oldest child, should inherit the farm and the pasture, burdens her.
She is seven years old when her brother is born. This frees them from the parents' expectations. After school she works as a saleswoman, goes abroad for a year, marries and gives birth to two children. But whenever there is a problem at the parents' farm, she feels obligated and jumps in.
When her father and her brother die within a year, Annelies has to take over responsibility for the farm and the pasture. Only many years later does she feel that the Gindlalm is the place in her life that she has always longed for.
