The Hirschberg is a meter high mountain in the Walchensee Mountains in the Bavarian Prealps. It lies on the border between the municipalities and cadastral of Ohlstadt in the north and Eschenlohe in the south. Location and Surroundings The Hirschberg is located about four kilometers east of Eschenlohe and five kilometers west of Walchensee. The center of the municipality of Ohlstadt is three kilometers to the north. South of the mountain runs the valley of the Eschenlaine, behind which the Ester Mountains with Simetsberg and Hohe Kisten are connected. About 500 meters north of the summit, the meter high Ölrain is located, from which a distinctive mountain ridge extends westward to the meter high '' Osterfeuerspitze''. The Hirschberg is forested up to the summit area. On the somewhat steeper southern side, the forest is partly interspersed with scree. Trails A forest road leads from Eschenlohe up the southern and eastern sides of the mountain to the ''Wankhütte'' () loc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ester Mountains
The Ester MountainsBourne, Grant and Körner-Bourne, Sabine (2007). ''Walking in the Bavarian Alps'', 2nd ed., Cicerone, Milnthorpe, p.8 and 115-168. . (german: Estergebirge) are a small mountain range in Bavaria. They are classified either as part of Bavarian Prealps or the larger chain of Northern Limestone Alps.

Mountain Bike
A mountain bike (MTB) or mountain bicycle is a bicycle designed for off-road cycling. Mountain bikes share some similarities with other bicycles, but incorporate features designed to enhance durability and performance in rough terrain, which makes them heavier, more complex and less efficient on smooth surfaces. These typically include a suspension fork, large knobby tires, more durable wheels, more powerful brakes, straight, extra wide handlebars to improve balance and comfort over rough terrain, and wide-ratio gearing optimised for topography and application (e.g., steep climbing or fast descending). Rear suspension is ubiquitous in heavier-duty bikes and now common even in lighter bikes. Dropper posts can be installed to allow the rider to quickly adjust the seat height (an elevated seat position is more effective for pedaling, but poses a hazard in aggressive maneuvers). Mountain bikes are generally specialized for use on mountain trails, single track, fire roads, and othe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Landesamt Für Digitalisierung, Breitband Und Vermessung Bayern

Scree
Scree is a collection of broken rock fragments at the base of a cliff or other steep rocky mass that has accumulated through periodic rockfall. Landforms associated with these materials are often called talus deposits. Talus deposits typically have a concave upwards form, where the maximum inclination corresponds to the angle of repose of the mean debris particle size. The exact definition of scree in the primary literature is somewhat relaxed, and it often overlaps with both ''talus'' and ''colluvium''. The term ''scree'' comes from the Old Norse term for landslide, ''skriða'', while the term ''talus'' is a French word meaning a slope or embankment. In high-altitude arctic and subarctic regions, scree slopes and talus deposits are typically adjacent to hills and river valleys. These steep slopes usually originate from late-Pleistocene periglacial processes. Notable scree sites in Eastern North America include the Ice Caves at White Rocks National Recreation Area in southern Ve ...

Hohe Kisten
The Hohe Kisten is a mountain, , in the Ester range in the Bavarian Prealps and lies north of the Krottenkopf – the main summit of the Ester range. The ''Hohe Kisten'' is a mountain with two distinct sides: a rocky northern side on which the summit section looks like a large box (German: ''Kiste'' = box), and a gentle southern side on which the summit barely stands out at all. The summit may be reached on a straightforward mountain touring route from Wallgau. The climb from Eschenlohe into the Loisach valley thorough the Puster valley requires endurance and sure-footedness. Another approach is along the route near the arête from the Weilheimer Hut (1,946 m). For this one, it is worth considering using the ''Hohe Kisten'' as a crossing point: for example on a very long day tour from Eschenlohe via the Hohe Kisten and Weilheimer Hut to Oberau (using the Munich–Garmisch-Partenkirchen railway) or as part of a longer tour through the Ester Mountains. In the 1970s it was p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bavaria
Bavaria ( ; ), officially the Free State of Bavaria (german: Freistaat Bayern, link=no ), is a state in the south-east of Germany. With an area of , Bavaria is the largest German state by land area, comprising roughly a fifth of the total land area of Germany. With over 13 million inhabitants, it is second in population only to North Rhine-Westphalia, but due to its large size its population density is below the German average. Bavaria's main cities are Munich (its capital and largest city and also the third largest city in Germany), Nuremberg, and Augsburg. The history of Bavaria includes its earliest settlement by Iron Age Celtic tribes, followed by the conquests of the Roman Empire in the 1st century BC, when the territory was incorporated into the provinces of Raetia and Noricum. It became the Duchy of Bavaria (a stem duchy) in the 6th century AD following the collapse of the Western Roman Empire. It was later incorporated into the Holy Roman Empire, became an ind ...

Walchensee
Walchensee or Lake Walchen is one of the deepest and largest alpine lakes in Germany, with a maximum depth of and an area of . The lake is south of Munich in the middle of the Bavarian Alps. The entire lake, including the island of Sassau, is within the municipality of Kochel. The lake and island are owned by the Bavarian State. To the east and the south, the lake borders the municipality of Jachenau. Etymology The name ''Walchen'' comes from Middle High German and means "strangers". All Roman and romanized peoples of the Alps south of Bavaria were known to the locals as ''Welsche'' or even ''Walche''. This is also true of the etymology of the Swiss Lake Walen and the Salzburg Wallersee. Another possible interpretation is that it comes from the Latin ''Lacus vallensis'', meaning "lake in a valley". On 16th-century maps, the lake is also labelled ''dicto Italico'', meaning "leading to Italy", probably because the route through the Walchensee valley led through Mittenwald a ...
