Daniel, the highest Ammergau Alps peak, is the eastern culimation point of a 7 km long, west - east running ridge, the southernmost ridge of the Ammergau Alps. In the center of this ridge is Plattberg, also called Hochschrutte, a broad and high peak, the second highest of Ammergau Alps. From the peak you have amazing views to Heiterwanger See. The trails are not well laid out and require a bit alpine experience even it's partly saved with steel cables. The route is south exposed so it will be really hot in summer. It's one of the rather unknown routes in the area as the most people are going to the famous summits in the neighborhood.
