    Tips

    October 9, 2019

    The not heavily visited summit lies between Pürschling and Kolbensattel. The feeding paths are partly steep and exposed and only recommended for experienced hikers. However, you have from the Sonnenberggrat a very beautiful panoramic view to the south in the Graswanger valley and north towards Upper and Unterammergau.

              Great viewpoint on the Sonnenspitze! A bit of scrambling is required to get to the top, but it's worth it☀️⛰️

                The summit is a scramble - surefootedness required
