Description

Thanks Thomas Siegler for creating the route!

Schellschlicht is a moderately rugged Ammergau peak with a distinctive bowl between two ridges on its southern flanks and with a northern ridge, which is a sort of backbone of the mountain, continuing to the north with Austrian Kreuzspitze (or Kreuzspitzl), German Kreuzspitze, Kuchelbergkopf and Kuchelbergspitz.

The southern bowl contains many little creeks which are accumulated to the Schellaine creek, cutting a deep valley and a canyon into the limestone of southern Schellschlicht.

The two southern ridges can be named after their subsummits: Sunkenkopf ridge to the southeast and Brandjoch ridge to the southwest. Marked trails on the two ridges allow for a nice loop hike to the summit and back. Views are extensive, especially of the Wetterstein walls to the south, looking across the Plansee to Reutte on the west, and a view north into the heart of the Ammergau range, dominated by the Geierköpfe and Kreuzspitze.

The hike is likely popular in late or early season because both trails are on southern slopes of meadow and latschen, where snow will not linger. At over 1200 meters elevation gain from the valley, it's good to get an early start if you come in high summer.

The difficultiy is between  T3+and T4-

It is also possible to do the tour the other way round, especially on hot days it is recommended, then the ascent is in the shade.

i have added 1 more seat in my car, as my car is relatively big enough to accommodate 5 people.

In case another car is not added by someone else in the carpool. People who are interested in doing this hike can come to the meeting point by public transport. But please note that in Garmisch public transport by train is affected by SEV: https://www.facebook.com/groups/hikingbuddiesmunich/permalink/4436108029841164/ So if you take the public transport at 7:30 am, you will reach by 10:30 am at the meeting point. Let me know, then according to that i will adjust the timings.
