The cozy alpine hut is on the way to the Zugspitzblick and the Hohe Munde. It can be reached on foot, with touring skis or by mountain bike. Enjoy a break on the terrace while the little ones let off steam on the playground. You can also stay overnight here.

What a wonderful view: in front of you lies the valley of the Leutascher Ache and further back the Zugspitze towers. Fantastic!

Exhausting but worth it. Very little going on and far away from tourist traffic. 😅

Hohe Munde West Summit

Highlight • Summit

Clearly the more beautiful summit, but you have to calculate an hour more.
The east climb is shorter (more direct) and also easier. Steinshlag is and when it's wet certainly also dangerous otherwise but rather easy to classify - but long.
The western ascent over the Niedere Munde is a very long mountain tour. Sure-footedness, excellent physical condition and a head for heights are prerequisites. In addition, the weather should be very stable. In the wet or even snow, it becomes life-threatening. Allow 9 hours for the total overrun. I would recommend drinking 4 liters. KS set too. The length makes the tour dangerous. The KS is probably A - B moderately difficult. But as I said - alas, it's wet!
You are completely defenseless against thunderstorms.
If everything fits - an insanely beautiful tour.
