The Tegernsee Mountains are also the westernmost part of the Mangfall Mountains (''Mangfallgebirge''). Well-known walking destinations are the peaks of a range of medium-high mountains with heights of under 2000 m. Climbing areas are the massifs of Roßstein, Roß- and Buchstein, Buchstein, and Plankenstein (Berg), Plankenstein.

Mountain Ranges Of Bavaria
A mountain is an elevated portion of the Earth's crust, generally with steep sides that show significant exposed bedrock. Although definitions vary, a mountain may differ from a plateau in having a limited summit area, and is usually higher than a hill, typically rising at least 300 metres (1,000 feet) above the surrounding land. A few mountains are isolated summits, but most occur in mountain ranges. Mountains are formed through tectonic forces, erosion, or volcanism, which act on time scales of up to tens of millions of years. Once mountain building ceases, mountains are slowly leveled through the action of weathering, through slumping and other forms of mass wasting, as well as through erosion by rivers and glaciers. High elevations on mountains produce colder climates than at sea level at similar latitude. These colder climates strongly affect the ecosystems of mountains: different elevations have different plants and animals. Because of the less hospitable terrain and ...

Fockenstein
Fockenstein is a mountain in Bavaria, Germany. It is located in what is called the Bavarian Prealps, west of the lake Tegernsee. Geography and Climbing The summit is on the border between the municipalities of Gaißach and Bad Wiessee. It is usually climbed from Bad Wiessee but can also be climbed from Lenggries via Geierstein. Fockenstein is also often climbed in winter, especially as part of a rather easy ski tour. While the path to the Aueralm can usually be mastered without any problems, the steep summit slopes must be assessed for avalanche danger. The Maximiliansweg from Füssen to Königssee also leads over the Fockenstein. In summer, two hours are required for the ascent from Bad Wiessee and 1.5 hours for the descent. From Lenggries Lenggries is a municipality and a town in Bavaria, Germany. It is the center of the Isarwinkel, the region along the Isar between Bad Tölz and Wallgau. The town has about 9,500 inhabitants. By area, it is the largest rural municipality ("G ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hirschberg (Bayern)
The Hirschberg is a mountain in the Bavarian Fore-alps south of Lake Tegernsee. The summit may be reached via a gentle mountain path either from Scharling, Kreuth or Bad Wiessee, all three routes being classified as not difficult. Below the summit at a height of 1,520 m is the ''Hirschberghaus'' restaurant, which is open all-year. The Hirschberg is the Tegernsee's observation point with an extensive panorama in all directions of the compass. In winter it is climbed by skiers from Kreuth via the Rauheck Alm or on foot from Scharling. The path is a gentle walk via the toboggan run (''Rodelbahn'') as far as Hirschlacke, then becomes steep and, in places, icy as it runs along the so-called ''Kratzer'' to the ''Hirschberghaus'' and finally along the open ridge to the summit. The summer route is susceptible to avalanches in winter and should not be used at that time of year. The aforementioned ''Kratzer'' is a 1,544 m high sub-peak of the Hirschberg with a summit cross ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

River Isar
The Isar is a river in Tyrol, Austria, and Bavaria, Germany, which is not navigable for watercraft above raft size. Its source is in the Karwendel range of the Alps in Tyrol; it enters Germany near Mittenwald and flows through Bad Tölz, Munich, and Landshut before reaching the Danube near Deggendorf. At in length, it is the fourth largest river in Bavaria, after the Danube, Inn, and Main. It is Germany's second most important tributary of the Danube after the Inn. Etymology One theory is that the name ''Isar'' comes from the hypothetical Indo-European root ''*es'' or ''*is'', which generally meant "flowing water" and later turned into a word with a meaning narrowed to frozen water (hence English ''ice'', german: Eis) in Proto-Germanic; the name itself is mentioned for the first time in 763 as ''Isura''. An older theory is that it comes from Celtic words and the name ''Isar'' is a construction of the Celtic stems ''ys'' "fast, torrential" and ''ura'' "water, river". Accordin ...
