Dötzenkopf

Highlight • Summit

Butterfly fans listen up! The Dötzenkopf seems to be a real paradise for butterflies. Surrounded by a flock of butterflies you can climb this small peak.

So break a sweat because they'll love the salt on your skin. ;-)

Dötzenkopf Cliffside Trail

Highlight • Trail

Exciting and interesting, with a steel cable to help you get over to the Dötzenkopf. You should already be free from giddiness.

Hochschlegelsteig

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Exciting ascent to Schlegelmulde / Alm.
Walkable again since July '19. Trail is restored to rockfall, fuse not yet appropriate, but with sure-footedness etc despite "locked" - signs well feasible.
