Ochsensitz Summit

a very steep climb from Ettal, but one that is rewarded with a fantastic view.
From here it continues to the Ziegelspitz and the Notkarspitze

Ziegelspitz Summit

Highlight • Summit

Nice view over the Ammergau and into the Loisach valley. Perfect to combine with the ascent to the Notkarspitze.

From the Ettal Monastery it is a difficult but doable tour if you have the necessary stamina. You pass the Ochsensitz and the Ziegelspitz beforehand.
So the circular tour is very nice. Only the descent from the Notkarspitze towards Ettal was not easy. Lots of gravel and scree. Hiking poles are helpful here.

View of the Notkarspitze Rock Face

Highlight • Viewpoint

When you come from Ochsensitz or Ziegelspitz, you can marvel at where you previously hiked. As you climb, this view is a foretaste of what's to come :)

Scenically beautiful but strenuous. Doesn't need to be done again :)

Difficult tour: plan for 6h to 9h. Definitely not child-friendly.

October 11, 2021,3 Spitzentour vom Ettaler Sattel - Ochsensitz, Ziegel- und Notkarspitze

The last descent has very steep sections with lots of roots, also loose scree and is very slippery when wet. Good footwear is recommended.

A fairly strenuous but beautiful hike to the Notkarspitze. It offers repeated, magnificent views of the impressive Ettal Abbey, Garmisch, and the Zugspitze Arena, as well as, of course, the Ammergau mountains and the Alpine foothills. The northern descent, in particular, is almost entirely T3 and requires careful walking and strong knees.

I didn't really feel like it in the rain. But sitting in the room isn't an option either. Such a long time for almost 14 km. The worst part was the descent. I've done this tour three times now. Every time I go down I get a cramp in my thigh, and almost always in the same place, an exposed …

Circular hike in late autumn around Ettal. Steep ascent to the Notkarspitze with a beautiful view of the Ettal and the surrounding Ammergau mountains. Descent via the two lower peaks Ziegelspitz and Ochsensitz.

Today we went from Ettal to 3 summits. Actually I didn't want to do anything today and tomorrow on the roof of Germany.
But I didn't want to do anything tomorrow and then again on Wednesday. Thunderstorms are forecast for Wednesday. So the only thing left for me is tomorrow. But today 1130 Hm and yesterday 1370 Hm stuck in …

Again to the Notkarspitze. From the Ettaler Mühle the climb is steep and varied. This time we didn't see any chamois in the beautiful Notkar or in the Großkaralm area and they hid 😉. In strong foehn winds on the Notkarspitze, quickly descended via Ziegelspitz and Ochsensitz and from Ettaler Sattel on the forest path back to the mill.
