The Bodenschneid (1669m) is a popular peak at any time of year, with a great view of the Bavarian Pre-Alps as well as Spitzingsee and Tegernsee.
The ascent is relatively short, you can reach the summit from Spitzingsee in just under 2 hours. On the other hand, you are rarely alone at the summit. Technically, the tour is not challenging, but it is pretty steep uphill and downhill. Nevertheless, a clear classic of Munich’s local mountains that should definitely be climbed.
Also because the Untere and Obere Firstalm offer two year-round refreshment stops on the way, and even the Bodenschneidhaus can be visited along with small diversions.
From the Spitzingsattel, follow the well-signposted forest path to the Obere Firstalm, which first leads slightly uphill in the forest, then relatively flat in the open terrain to the Obere Firstalm refreshment stop. Here you turn north and follow the path across meadows in the direction of Freudenreichsattel. At a fork, keep left and follow a forest path that leads north past the forest peak of the Krettenburg.
The trail continues westwards, straight ahead at the fork to Bodenschneid (see tip). The trail crosses a mountain basin overgrown with bushes, leads uphill for a bit, and finally, first through sparse forest, then across open meadows without any orientation difficulties to the Bodenschneidhaus.
Take the Bayerische Oberlandbahn from Munich main station to Fischhausen-Neuhaus and from there bus 9562 to Spitzingsattel (timetable and booking). From there, take a path to the right of the road to Spitzingsee, walk about 200 metres along the western shore and then climb, moderately steeply to the west, to the car park at the curved lift.
