November 23, 2023,Winter-Abenteuer Ammergauer Alpen ❄️🥰

A dream day in the Ammergau Alps!

Two points are particularly important to me:
1. The section from the intersection to the summit of Schönleitschrofen is alpine. It can be slippery and dangerous here, especially with snow.

2. Especially in winter, it is important not to be out and about at dusk for animal welfare reasons. We came in at …

August 21, 2021,Auf den Schönleitenschrofen - Rohrkopfhütte hoch, Drehhütte runter

The Schönleitenschrofen is a rocky summit in the Ammergau Alps, which separates the Bannwaldsee from the Wankerfleck, so roughly described. I was up there for the first time in the late winter of 2021 (komoot.de/tour/345222420?ref=itd), but as the saying goes, once is never and there is also another variant.

July 9, 2022,Wanderung über Drehhütte zum Schönleitenschrofen 1706m

Inspired by Hans, thanks to you, today we went to the Schönleitenschrofen.
great tour Hans has made a great description of the route. That's why it just doesn't apply to me.
Nevertheless, I discovered a beautiful Turk's cap lily. In addition, there was a highlight of a small cattle drive.
Another special feature was a helicopter rescue on Tegelberg today. …

October 25, 2024,Latschenschrofen + Schönleitenschrofen 😍 ⛰️ 🦮 ⛰️ -Viel schöner als der Tegelberg

I was thinking about quickly tackling the Schönleitenschrofen. Haha... it was longer and more "alpine" than I expected, but it was worth it. I highly recommend this summit. The Kaiserschmarrn and cappuccino at the Drehhütte tasted all the better.

November 10, 2024,Schönleitenschrofen ⛰️ und Latschenschrofen⛰️ ab Parkplatz Drehhütte

Two peaks that had been on my wish list for a long time were today's goal. I set off with @AlexandraM from the free hiking car park at the Drehhütte (Schwangau) at 8.15 a.m. in a cool minus 1 degree. The mostly asphalted path to the Drehhütte is not exciting, but good for a quick climb. When you arrive at …

February 9, 2025,Schönleitenschrofen, Latschenschrofen, Tegelberg, Branderschrofen

I had wonderful weather today in the Ammergau mountains 🌞 . I started at the free Drehhütte car park. Up to the Drehhütte it is almost only asphalt road, with a bit of snow or ice now and then. The path to the Schönleitenschrofen is also mostly snow-covered but easy to walk without crampons. The view from the summit is …
