Over the Grasberg in St. Martin to the Königsstand, starting at the Garmisch Cemetery
A varied and challenging trail running tour near Garmisch-Partenkirchen
Embark on a moderately difficult trail running tour of 13 km over beautiful gravel paths and nature trails. Be prepared for 900 m elevation gain over approximately 6.5 km. From the Explorer Hotel, you can reach the starting point at the Garmisch Cemetery in 18 minutes by bike and 1 hour on foot. By car, it takes 10 minutes.
The historic tour passes the Kellerleitensteig over a challenging passage of 100 m elevation gain to the Grasberg. Towards the Forstweg, the route becomes more pleasant and easier for another 100 m elevation gain. You quickly reach the St. Martinshütte. This is followed by a strenuous climb up switchbacks to the Königsstand. Out of breath? You've reached your destination!
The return route is exactly the same as the outward route.
Good to know: There's a fee for parking at the Garmisch Cemetery.
