Butterfly fans listen up! The Dötzenkopf seems to be a real paradise for butterflies. Surrounded by a flock of butterflies you can climb this small peak.

So break a sweat because they'll love the salt on your skin. ;-)

In general, the tour always offers beautiful views of the foothills of the Alps and …
