The Hündlekopf, at 1,111 meters, is the ridge of the Hündle mountain and one of the most popular viewing summits around Oberstaufen. It is easy to hike up. If you want to spare yourself the partly steep ascent, simply take the gondola. At the summit cross, you have a great view of the Großer Alpsee and the Nagelfluhkette.

Ascent/descent from/to the Plattakopf. It's fun, but the descent is very challenging as there are hardly any footholds on the rock and it goes straight down. Those who are unsure can also use a via ferrata set here for help. The warnings from the DAV are rightly there.
