Teufelstättkopf and Laubeneck are the first distinctive, tall and
pyramid shaped rock outcroppings in the eastern end of the
Klammspitzkamm of the Ammergau Alps. It's southern slopes, a mountain
forest of spruce and beech trees, are dropping steep into the Graswang
valley. The northern slopes are moderate steep and heavily wooded as
well with high alpine pastures. The pastures to the north are summer
ranches with free roaming cattle and little cabins for the ranchers and
forest workers. Kühalm, Hengstwald hut and Laubeneckalm are just
below/above the treeline. The August Schuster Haus aka "Pürschling" hut is
located in the gap between the Teufelstättkopf and the Pürschling
peak. This is a German Alpine Club lodge and a well known target for for
many tourists and hikers.
The Teufelstättkopf and Laubeneck peaks are all season mountains and
offer some gnarly ski descents in very steep couloirs. Rock climbing
routes are on the south face of Teufelstättkopf and east face of
Laubeneck.
This route via Plattenberggrat is less frequented
