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 mountain served as an important orientation point in the Tegernsee region from early times, helping travelers navigate the Alpine landscape. Over centuries, various paths to the summit developed, strengthening connections between surrounding villages.
The mountain has long drawn people from surrounding villages who hike to share the view and connect with the landscape. This practice links local communities to the terrain and makes the summit a gathering point that brings neighbors together.
The trails vary in length and steepness depending on your chosen route, so assess your fitness honestly and bring suitable gear. Weather changes quickly in the mountains, so check forecasts and start your climb early in the day.
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.
