Winter hike to the Teufelstättkopf: A dream in the Ammergau Alps
The mountains are calling! And what could be better than exploring them in winter? A hike to the Teufelstättkopf in the Ammergau Alps offers exactly that - an unforgettable experience in the middle of snow and ice.
The beginning: Unterammergau
The journey begins in Unterammergau. The hike starts here, where people made a living from making whetstones for centuries. Right from the start, Schleifmühlklamm impresses with its thundering waterfalls. Nature shows itself at its best as you hike along the footbridges and admire the growing power of the water.
A fairytale forest and impressive views
After leaving the gorge behind, the path leads through an enchanted forest. Huge rocks and mighty trees line the path. It's like walking through a fairy tale. But the real magic begins when the forest clears and the first glimpse of the magnificent panorama is revealed.
Another highlight of the tour is the August Schuster House, also known as the Pürschlinghaus. Even kings have rested here in the past. The view from here is breathtaking and a short detour through the frozen snow is definitely worth it.
The summit: Teufelstättkopf
The path to the summit of the Teufelstättkopf is not without challenges. Roots, stones and snow make the climb an adventure. But the effort is rewarded. Once at the top, a panorama opens up that leaves you speechless. The view extends to the Zugspitze and shows the snow-covered peaks in their full splendor.
The summit itself can be reached via a small climbing section, which is secured by a steel cable. But even without the final climb, the mountain offers breathtaking views.
The way back: A path through the beauty of nature
The way back leads over the long ridge, which impresses with a mystical lighting atmosphere and views of snow-covered mountains. The narrow path winds through mountain pines and always offers new, fascinating views. Finally the path leads over snow-covered meadows back to the valley.
The hike to the Teufelstättkopf is an experience that you won't quickly forget. The combination of impressive nature, breathtaking views and the challenge of the climb makes this tour a highlight for every outdoor enthusiast.
