The Rechelkopf, my favorite after-work mountain, is a quick climb via the trail via Schwaigeralm, or via the Schwaigeralm road as a bike and hike tour. It can easily be combined with the Sulzkopf. A longer but beautiful alternative is the ascent via Sunntraten and then on to Schwaigeralm. From the Rechelkopf, you can also hike over Mitterereck on old hunting trails to Aueralm.

The Rechelkopf is the closest Alpine peak from Munich - an inconspicuous, 1330 m high forest crest. On the ascent and on the summit, however, the forests thin out and there are wonderful deep and distant views. At the summit you can see past the Brauneck to the Höllental glacier and the Zugspitze summit.
