Description

THIS HIKE CAN BE POSTPONED IN CASE OF BAD WEATHER & CORONA SITUATION!

I am currently keeping the participant count to 4, if need arises i will increase it later.

Teufelstättkopf is one of the most popular mountains in Ammergauer alps. This hike is mostly T2 except the last couple of meters to the peak.

The route can also be tried in winter given that: 1) Avalanche risk is under limits, and 2) you have proper equipments to traverse icy ridge (crampons, groedels etc.)

Ascent: The start point of the hike is Unterammergau. Follow the directions towards Schleifmühlklamm. The walk through the gorge is just stunning. There is no entry fee to the gorge. After the gorge follow the directions to Kuhalm, from there the path becomes steep and narrow before going to the ridge. In the ridge you have amazing views of Karwendel, Wetterstein mountains and Allgäu and Ammergauer alps. You need good orientation skills and sure footedness in the ridge. The last few meters to the peak has a section with rope. In winter the ropes are covered by snow, so one needs to be careful in this section.

Descent: The descent is from the peak towards Purschling. The most of the descent is along an easy mountain road and poses no difficulties.

Variants:

1) Alpine coaster during descent (only possible in summer) Its possible during May.

2) Teufelstättkopf via Plattenberggrat

3) Much longer and challenging route via Sonnenberggrat (only for experienced hikers)

4) Teufelstättkopf from schloss Linderhof

Good to know

Carry following things:

FFP2 Mask
Vaccination Certificate
Hiking Boots
1-1.5 L water
Snacks, food (in case we do not stop at the Hut)

DONT go - route warning - https://www.sueddeutsche.de/bayern/unterammergau-sonnenberggrat-wanderer-unglueck-1.5557376 there were 2 dead bodies in the valley while we were making this hike last sunday Wait for summers. I think we were lucky that day and decide to go down when we got a chance. there are few places to go down the ridge otherwise you have to continue on that scary ridge refer the comments in my event - https://www.hiking-buddies.com/routes/events/4880/ I think there is the reason why it is called "Am Zahn" (the teeth of the devil)

In case we want to take the Alpine Coaster which is in Oberammergau which is not the starting point. Then we should take different: https://www.komoot.com/smarttour/1978018. Let me know if anyone is interested in Alpine Coaster.

https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=oa.714807329699211&type=3 If you look at this album/post, there was considerate amount of snow on 10.04, and based on https://www.bergfex.com/sommer/ammergauer-alpen/webcams/c4991/, i see some snow at the top. So i would recommend to carry a winter gear. You can ask in FB group https://www.facebook.com/groups/hikingbuddiesmunich if anyone can lend you winter gear for 1 day. I might postpone this hiking event as i see rainy weather on Saturday. I will check the weather forcast on Thursday again and if needed, then i will update this event.

And would you recomend this hiking for a person that never been in one with snow? I'm quite experienced in hiking/trekking, but i've never been in one with snowy conditions.

Ok. But please do wear hiking boots. I hope there is very little snow.

I am sorry but i have to postpone this hike to next weekend as the weather is rainy and i think the path would be muddy & slippery which would make it difficult to do the ridge part.
