Schildenstein is the culmination point of the western part of Blauberge ridge,located between the minor summit of Wichtelplatte to the east and Platteneck to the west, another minor summit of Blauberge. A broad, unnamed saddle divides Schildenstein from Wichtelplatte and the eastern part of Blauberge. This saddle is a beautiful place at the timberline with old and huge spruces, dwarf pines, alpine meadows and some rocks. Blaubergalm which offers food, drinks and accommodation, is located at the eastern end of the saddle. At its western end Schildenstein summit stretches just a bit above timberline, enough to offer beautiful views over Bavarian Alps, Brandenberger Alpen, Pre - Karwendel mountains and Karwendel ranges.
If you are looking for short but amazing route with some scrambling, this one is for you!
