Baumgartenschneid
Encyclopedia
The Baumgartenschneid is a 1,448 metre high mountain in the Bavarian Prealps
above the Tegernsee
to the east.
The peak may also be reached from Rottach-Egern
or Schliersee
on various paths. On the climbing path from Tegernsee or Rottach-Egern to the top, the path initially passes the inn, Gasthaus Galaun, at 1,060 m and then to the 1,207 m high rocks of the Riederstein, on which a small chapel stands.
The Baumgartenschneid is also a popular, easily accessible peak, even in winter. Provided the snow cover is not too deep, snow shoes are not required. Crampons
are recommended, however, when it is icy.
The view from the summit cross
on the Baumgartenschneid is dominated by the Tegernsee lake. Also visible are the surrounding Tegernsee Mountains
like, for example, the Wallberg
, the Setzberg, the Kampen
and the Fockenstein
. To the east the Wendelstein
dominates the view.
