Staffel

Staffel is a mountain summit in Bavaria rising to 1532 meters with green meadows and rocky paths crossing through the Jachenau valley. The terrain offers several hiking routes that wind through the landscape between these natural features.

The mountain has drawn visitors since the early 1900s, including the artist Franz Marc who had connections to the region. This area became part of the broader mountaineering interest in the Bavarian Alps during the 20th century.

Local mountaineering traditions continue at Staffel through seasonal celebrations and guided group ascents organized by Bavarian hiking associations.

The hike is best started from Jachenau, which you can reach by train to Lenggries and then by bus. Wear sturdy hiking boots and bring weather-resistant clothing, as the terrain can be steep and conditions change quickly.

On clear days, hikers can see the Zugspitze and Wetterstein mountains to the southeast from the summit. This makes the summit a worthwhile viewpoint for those interested in observing the larger mountain landscape of the region.
