Highlight (Segment) • Summit

Put on good shoes and the last climb is no longer in the way.
The small climbing passage is sure to be fun for many children. A rope is attached to the rock.

In the best weather and summer temperatures, we headed to Unterammergau. Just outside of town, we started our hike with a visit to the Schleifmühlklamm Gorge. This trail led us through the shady forest along the Schleifmühllaine stream, climbing gently but steadily in pleasant temperatures.

After climbing the Teufelstättkopf last year in glorious weather, I had the pleasure of doing the same tour with my brother today. This time, however, the conditions were completely different. It was about 12°C and there was no visibility, and it was drizzling at times. But that didn't matter to us; we were still enjoying the fresh air. First, we …

First of... let's see how many tours in the Ammergau Alps 😄. We started early 🥱 because it was supposed to be warm. And it was, from 8 a.m. First we went through the Schleifmühlklamm, which is not particularly big but beautiful 🤩. Then there was a long passage on a forest and farm track, accompanied by the blazing sun …

From the parking lot, we follow the wide path with the signs for Pürschling
The path is very steep at first but is easy to walk on. After the Pürschling it's steep and a little narrower up to the Teufelstättkopf. A head for heights and sure-footedness are required here.
At the top is a via ferrata secured with a rope …

Today's tour in beautiful weather went to the Teufelstättkopf. I started at the Schleifenmühle car park in Unterammergau, daily fee €7. The paths are mostly free of snow, further up there were a few unproblematic old snow fields. The Pürschlinghaus is still closed.

After the feeding days I absolutely needed some exercise today. And I wanted a sunrise today too. My choice fell on the Teufelstättkopf. Before that I took the Pürschling lying on the way with me. At 6:55 a.m. I was on the Teufelstättkopf. And then the sun came out at about 8:15. There was a fairly fresh wind on the …
