The summit cross on the Branderschrofen marks the highest point of the Tegelberg in the Ammergau Alps near Schwangau, Bavaria. At 1,881 meters, it offers impressive 360-degree views of the surrounding mountains, lakes, and valleys. The climb from the Tegelberghaus to the summit is challenging, as some sections are secured with wire ropes and require surefootedness and a head for heights.
The path to the summit leads through mountain pine fields and over rocky sections secured with wire ropes. A striking feature is a 2.5 x 2.5 meter notch in the mountain, which offers a sweeping view of Lake Forggensee.

If you take the Königsrunde (King's Trail) on the Tegelberg, you have the option of climbing to the Branderschrofen summit cross. The trail isn't far, but it's certainly challenging.
Surefootedness and proper footwear are essential. The climb is secured with steel cables and is quite enjoyable. You'll be rewarded with a magnificent view at the top.
