From the grass runway at Ampfing you climb into a near‑five‑hour ultralight journey that traces the Bavarian mountain chain from the Kampenwand toward the Allgäu, sweeping low over a string of lakes and islands and pausing in Kempten for a short break. The route is an extended aerial survey of the region—Chiemsee, Tegernsee, Kochel‑ and Walchensee among them—offering perspectives of the Alps and as many as nine separate lakes that can only be taken in from the air.
