Strudelkopf

Beautiful panorama in good weather. However, very well attended.

The Strudelkopf offers views to the horizon in about 290 degrees: Three Peaks, Monte Cristallo, Monte Pelmo, Tofana, High Gaisl, Red Wall, Seekofel .... There is a relief with the name of almost 100 mountains.
Only the higher Dürrenstein interrupts the all-round view.

In fine weather, the walk to the summit is a must.

The Strudelkopf offers views of the Sextener Dolomites with Haunold and Drei Zinnen, further to Mte. Piano / Piana, the Cadini di Musurina, the great Cristallo group, the Hohen Gaisl and the Pragser Dolomites with the Seekofel.

From the Dürrensteinhütte you can reach the cross on the Strudelkopf in about 45 minutes.The sunset at the Strudelkopf is a dream, even if the fireball disappears quite early behind the massive walls of the Hohen Gaisl (3,146 m). The play of colors on the rock faces of the Drei Zinnen to the east and the towers of the Cristallo group, which is well over 3,000 m high in the south, is breathtaking.For the ascent you should take the exciting climb to the right of the hut terrace through the old positions from the 1st World War. This is not feasible for bikes. For the way back, I recommend the old military route to the hut. You can also ride this up and down on a mountain bike.

I would classify the hike rather than medium.

Wonderful hiking trail with great views!

Great view of the three pinnacles!

A simply beautiful panoramic view is up there. As a tip not forget .... the road is only until 10 o'clock with car passable, afterwards only shuttle bus. Car costs 8 euros. That's full of O.K. Bus is more expensive as a family, as you pay upwards and downwards per person 3 euros each. And you should be tough on the bus drivers ... 😉

In good visibility, the climb rewards with a great view of the 3 battlements

Top view after a short climb!

Nice view from the Strudelkopf.

An easy climb that is rewarded with a beautiful panorama

Easy climb that is worth it

The reward is the look

The reward is the distant view

This excursion was recommended to us by the owner of the hotel, and was excellent advice. One of the most beautiful viewpoints of all the Dolomites: you can see, just to mention the most famous, the Tofane di Cortina, the Pale di S. Martino, Monte Cristallo, the three peaks of Lavaredo .... a priceless view .

The famous 3 battlements from a worthwhile perspective. Don't forget Tele!

Supplement to Reiner's detailed list: With good distant view, view of various peaks of the main Alpine ridge.

The 3 battlements in all their glory.

Excellent destination to see the sunrise over the Pusteria Dolomites

Drei Zinnen ... always great😄👍

The outlook and foresight is simply fantastic.
