Krottenspitze

The Krottenspitze stands at 2,551 meters above sea level, featuring dolomite rock formations and connecting to the Öfnerspitze through a flat saddle point.

The first documented climb to the summit occurred in 1854 during survey operations conducted by Dr. Gümbel, marking the beginning of mountaineering activities.

The mountain forms part of the traditional border between Bavaria and Tyrol, representing centuries of alpine culture between German and Austrian communities.

Access requires technical climbing skills and experience, with the standard route starting from the path to Muttlerkopf through unmarked terrain sections.

The northwest face contains the Märzle cirque, a natural amphitheater that maintains snow coverage until midsummer due to its northern orientation.
