@Elvis: Please do not allow ambitious mountaineers (read: beginners) to be tempted to make the transition without prior knowledge and personal self-assessment. The key points are by no means suitable for less experienced mountaineers, as in damp conditions the gully to be climbed and the overman-high wall in max. UIAA II + are to be mastered. For the rest of the crossing, surefootedness and a good psyche are of course required. There is a good description here: festivaltour.de/forum/thema/%C3%9Cberschritt-von-kreuzspitze-2-185m-und-kreuzspitzl-2-089m.1270

Path continues to the small cross and further over the ridge. 2 short climbing spots. The second in particular needs real alpine experience, climbing in exposed terrain without safety!

Those who dare to do this tour have a wonderful view and an almost deserted descent.
However, some experience is necessary as the trails are not marked.
