Schönberg, Mountain summit in Tegernseer Alps, Germany.
Schönberg is a mountain in the Tegernseer Alps rising to 1,620 meters with multiple trails of varying difficulty that wind through alpine meadows and rocky sections. The routes pass through open slopes and forest passages that reveal views of the surrounding peaks.
The sources record no early history or historic summit routes for Schönberg; the documented facts are its 1,620 m summit in the Tegernsee Mountains and the Rauhalm, a 1,400 m hollow northeast of the summit used in summer as an alpine pasture and in winter as a self-catering hut of the DAV Munich section. The Almbach, Winkelbach and Klaffenbach streams rise on its slopes.
The Rauhalm, a 1,400 m hollow northeast of the summit, is used as an alpine pasture in summer and as a self-catering hut of the Munich section of the German Alpine Club in winter. Skiers and snowshoers also climb Schönberg in winter, so the mountain is a year-round destination for people from the Lenggries area.
The summit is reached from Lenggries by an easy hike; in winter the mountain is also climbed on skis or snowshoes. In the hollow northeast of the summit stands the Rauhalm hut at 1,400 m, run in summer as an alpine pasture and in winter as a self-catering hut of the DAV Munich section.
A small chapel called Röhrlmooskapelle stands halfway up the trail at 1,099 meters and serves as a welcome rest stop for many hikers. This unexpected religious shelter in the mountain solitude gives the climb a distinct character.
