Grosser Aufacker

Grosser Aufacker (Oberammergau)

Rewarding tour to one of Oberammergau's local mountains, which offers a fun trail from the summit to the valley.

Description

From the train station in Oberammergau, head through the village to the valley station of the Laberbahn cable car. Pass this and follow the forest path for a while until a turn-off on the left leads towards Aufacker. Apart from a few steep ramps, the forest trail now runs leisurely along the south side of the Aufacker. You cross the later downhill trail several times. At a fork in the trail, take the middle path, which initially leads steeply upwards and turns into a trail at the top of the ridge, which you follow, sometimes pushing, to the summit.

The downhill trail begins a short distance below the summit and runs through dense forest, especially in the upper section. On the following 650 Elevation loss there are plenty of root carpets, steps and hairpin bends, all of which are at S2 level with some S3 sections. At the end, you end up at the Wellenberg swimming pool parking lot and roll comfortably through the village back to the starting point.
