Thanks to the altitude, it is wonderful hiking in the summer. Rinnen, Brand, Mitteregg, Namlos, Anrauth, Kleinstockach, Bichlbächle and Kelmen: the many nearby hamlets and villages are easily accessible destinations. Of course, you can also make things a little more (in)exciting by climbing one of the peaks.
A nice trip is the Rotlech Gorge, which is just a short walk from our house. From the viewing platform you can admire the Rotlech waterfall. Or the "Highline 179" Europe's longest suspension bridge.
Or how about the Thaneller, 2,341 meters above sea level? High above Heiterwang thrones the Thaneller with a magnificent view of Berwang and the glistening turquoise water of the Heiterwangersee. The Thaneller can be climbed in winter as a ski tour and in summer as a hike or trail run for mountaineering enthusiasts!
If you want to do it a little tougher then the Zugspitze 2,962 m above sea level is your challenge! The Zugspitze, is a rock massif in a class of its own. It towers above Ehrwald as the summit of the Wetterstein Mountains and is surrounded by clouds. With its rugged rock faces reaching to the sky, it is every mountaineer's dream!
We are also surrounded by beautiful lakes, the most famous being the Heiterwangersee. Here you will find everything. Beach, boat trips, boat rentals, fishing, stand-up paddling and of course swimming and bathing in the turquoise water with a fantastic panorama. Together with the Plansee, Lake Heiterwanger forms the second largest body of water in Tyrol.
But you can also cool off closer to home. Berwang has its own outdoor pool in the middle of the forest with a mini golf, tennis courts and a kiosk, the Bärenbad Berwang!
With 3000 km of different cycling routes and tracks, the mountain biker, e-biker or gravel biker can also have a great time. We have two rental companies in the village to provide you with your necessary equipment.
And we have much more, in fact too many to mention them all. But take a look at the Zugspitze Arena website and you can choose what suits you. Climbing, Paragliding, a golf course, canyoning, summer tobogganing, mountain karting etc etc etc You will be short of time!
