In the different time zones (stations on the circular trail) in the Hörnle area you can enjoy a great view and tranquility. Either on the seats of the world number one 3D atural movie, or in the reading corner, or on a massage lounger or in a mud bath.
Ammer Springs
Its mainly water of the Linder seeping away in the West of Graswang that comes to the surface as so called plunge pools, rising bubbling water holes. It doesn’t take long and the spring fed pools turn into two little brooks which unite to the little river Ammer “Kleine Ammer”, which then winds in various loops over the low moorland of the Ettal basin. In the wide stream bed of the big river Ammer “Große Ammer” it then flows into the North.
Fatima Chapel
There is a small gem on the heights above the village Saulgrub. From there you can overlook the complete northern Ammer Valley. This small votive chapel was built by Josef Leismüller. When in 1939 as a young man he had to take part in the second World War, He vowed to build a chapel in the case of coming back fom the war in good health. After 5 years as a prisoner of war in Minsk he came back home to Saulgrub.
Another 4 years later he went on Pilgrimage to the Portuguese pilgrimage church Fatima. From there he took a statue of “Our Lady of Fatima” to Saulgrub. He stood up to his oath now and started together with a mason who was his friend to build Fatima Chapel hich was consecrated on 12th of September in 1954.
Rochusfeld
During the course of ages changing climatic conditions formed first the low moorlands with moss, grasses, bushes and trees. Plants didn’t rot in the oxyen-deprived and acid water of the lakes left by the glaciers but turn to peat. The lakes gradually silted up and the mud grew layer by layer. At all times the inhabitants of Bad Kohlgrub have been usin the mud according to their purposes. In former times the mud and turf pieces had only been used as heatng material. But since 1870 the precious mud had become a remedy because of its natural healing effect.
The mud’ s integral healing power animates metabolism and blood circulation, acts on hormone regulation, strengthens immune defense and ensures deep relaxation.
Scheibum – Gap of Ammer
About 120.000 years ago (top moraine area) after leaving the Alps the Ammer found its way to the North. By this a fascinating gorge of the Ammer has been formed. It is situated between Altnau and Peißenberg. Here, approximately 15 km from its source, the river created this impressive gap in the rock called Scheibum, which is 600 m in length and up to 80 m deep. I has already been under nature protection since 1949. That’s why the Valley of the Ammer is one of the most beautiful and most natural finish river valleys in the Northern limestonealps.
Soier See (A lake)
The moorland water of the lake is gentle to the skin and good for the body. The little lake is situated in Bad Bayersoien, a mud spa. It heats up quickly in spring and even in summer it’s never overcrowded.
