Exciting and interesting, with a steel cable to help you get over to the Dötzenkopf. You should already be free from giddiness.

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. ;-)

June 23, 2024,Dötzenkopf 1001 m 🚶🏼‍♀️

Although the Dötzenkopf is the lowest 1000m peak in the Lattengebirge, it is really great fun to climb. A very beautiful hike from Bad Reichenhall. At the top it almost looks a bit Asian, isolated pine trees, all gnarled. I really liked it. I hope I have time to climb it again as a circular tour.

A hiker who crossed my path said, "The true light"—there's something to that. Happy Easter! 🐰🐣☀️

December 26, 2023,Gemütliche Runde Dötzenkopf nach der Festvöllerei

After the gluttony I needed a bit of exercise. Since we continued with a meal with the family in the early afternoon, it was only supposed to be a short tour... so Bad Reichenhall's local mountain, Dötzenkopf, is a perfect option. It started shortly after 8 from the festival site in Bad Reichenhall.
