The Pfarrer Mayr nature trail was named after the former Trauchgau pastor Peter Mayr, who worked as a missionary in the Amazon for a long time and had a fatal accident at Geiselstein. The varied hiking trail leads over a length of approx. 3,7 kilometers through a wonderful mountain landscape along information boards that provide interesting information about the special features of nature here. The start and finish point is at the St. Peter Chapel in the village of Berghof, which is part of the municipality of Halblech. From Füssen-Weißensee you can reach Halblech in just a few minutes by car via the B17; You can park either at the festival site in Bayerniederhofen or in the small parking lot on the Halblech-Roßhaupten connecting road, which is directly below the St. Peter Chapel. You should plan around an hour and a half for the hike, which is also suitable for families with children and seniors due to its easy nature. Weather-appropriate clothing and some provisions for the journey are recommended.
The St. Peter Chapel, located on the edge of the Ammer Mountains at 843 meters above sea level, is located on a gentle ridge in the middle of a picturesque landscape. It can be seen from afar and is without a doubt one of the most beautiful places in the region. From the parking lot on the Halblech-Roßhaupten connecting road, a pilgrimage path that was created with great commitment a few years ago leads up to the church in just under ten minutes. Several wrought iron stations of the cross were erected along the path, reminding us of Jesus' suffering and inviting us to reflect on our own lives. The chapel itself not only delights church lovers with its ornate baroque interior and a peaceful atmosphere that is ideal for contemplating. In front of the church there are several benches in a park-like atmosphere, from which you can enjoy an unforgettable view of the Allgäuer Königswinkel and numerous Allgäuer and Tyrolean mountains. A panoramic board shows where well-known mountains such as the Geiselstein, the Hochplatte or the Füssener local mountain Säuling are located.
The family-friendly Pfarrer Mayr nature trail leads past the St. Peter Chapel to the Halblech Dammweg. Different path surfaces and great natural impressions along the route provide a lot of variety. The meadows and poor grasslands in the mountain idyll here are the habitat of some rare plants and flowers. Rare butterflies also delight hikers' eyes. The soothing mountain air and omnipresent views of magnificent mountains also contribute to making this tour a complete pleasure. Information boards along the way provide interesting information about nature here. From the Halblech-Dammweg you go on a gravel road to the junction with the Roßweg, which leads through meadows and fields back to Berghof. The last section of the path is ideal for a leisurely picnic in the countryside. Alternatively, after the hike you will find several places to stop in Halblech so that you can return to your holiday home in Füssen-Weißensee refreshed.
A variety of wonderful natural impressions, breathtaking panoramas and one of the most beautiful chapels in the Ostallgäu make the leisurely hike on the Pfarrer Mayr nature trail a completely successful holiday experience.
