Teufelstättkopf — Summit and Ridge

Highlight (Segment) • Summit

Nice, but already demanding climb. Avoid in damp weather, because then rock alternates with mud.

May 1, 2025,Wanderung zum Teufelstättkopf, erste Bergtour seit langem, die Hüfte hat gehalten
First big tour after hip surgery, and I notice, hurray it's going again, everything is fine, and I had a supervisor with me, son + daughter with friend

Since @Eva is finally free again and we both survived the virus 🦠 well, we tested our condition today....It works 💪🏻👍!
Via the Schleifmühlenklamm we went up to the Teufelstättkopf.
Up there at the summit ⛰ it was like on the Ameisenberg! The mountain rescue youth were abseiling 🪢 and climbing 🧗‍♂️ practicing! Respect for the very young climbers (5-6 …

Started from the parking lot in Unterammergau. The Schleifmühlklamm is very short, but still worth seeing. Shortly before the Alm, turn right up into the forest and thus choose the root ascent up to the August Schuster Hütte. From there, the Pürschling is clearly visible. After a short rest we continued up to the Teufelstättkopf. I hiked over the ridge …

You could take the hen's head with you if you can spend an additional 1 hour.

A stop at the Pürschlinghaus is highly recommended. :)

Best spring weather ☀️ for a hike. The ascent to the Teufelstättkopf😈⛰️ continues along the moderately steep forest path until it finally leads to the beautiful ridge climb.
As a reward, the August Schuster House beckoned with food and drink

Easily doable with a sure-footed dog.
There are grid floors in the gorge – check whether your dog can walk over them.
The last section to the summit has a small climbing section – we had to support the dog with the harness once.

Actually a very nice tour but the forest path down was very boring and dragged on. Not recommended if you have problems with your knees

Wonderful mountain hike with rock contact, up in the rocks it is much more interesting than just climbing through the mountain forest😁😜

It's really great fun👍😉

In addition, the rooty path was very muddy and slippery today, so be careful☝
