View of Zugspitze and Waxensteine near Farchant

Highlight • Viewpoint

I can recommend the path to Schafkopf or Brünstelskopf. Both are beautiful. The latter is longer and more secluded.

Tree Shrine in Ammergebirge Nature Reserve

Highlight • Religious Site

The small grotto in the outgrown tree can be seen, if you come from the top directly on the way. Mostly it is decorated with flowers

March 9, 2025,Schafkopf & Brünstelkreuz🌷☀️🥰

What actually lies between Kramer and Notkarspitze🤔? That's exactly where we were today🙂. A great, almost snow-free, summery tour from Farchant over the Schafkopf to the Brünstelkreuz. There's only some snow left in the upper area, so crampons are definitely an advantage. With a bit more training, it can also be combined well with the Notkarspitze😉.
