Hoher Fricken Summit (1,940 m)

Beautiful outlook on GAP and the Zugspitze. Steep departure to the cow curse waterfalls. Surefooted safety absolutely necessary, telescopic poles are very useful.

I went up on a bit cloudy - rainy day. The path is steep and small. It is not hard to recognize the path however it is very risky in many different spots. Hiking poles and had experience with alpine trails are highly recommended. From the parking to the peak is more than 1200 m gain. The last 100 m is very slippery but it comes with the high price of the stunning view!


You got nearly 360 degrees view with mountains. If the cloud doesn’t cover the peaks as I had haha The waterfall at the beginning is absolutely amazing and after the long hike, take a rest near the waterfall and have a cold wash is perfect

From here you have a good view of the Zugspitze, provided the clouds are not hanging in front of it. The way up is steep and slippery, so only recommended for experienced people. The view from the summit is incredibly beautiful!
