Bernadeinkopf

Bernadeinkopf is a rocky peak in the Wetterstein range that rises to 2,143 meters, combining steep north faces with a gentler southern slope. Multiple climbing routes provide access for different experience levels, including via ferrata sections with varying degrees of difficulty.

Via ferrata routes installed in the early 20th century opened this peak to a wider range of climbers. The fixed-rope routes became classics of Alpine climbing in Bavaria and remain popular today.

The summit draws climbers seeking a technical mountain challenge where they can test their skills in the Alps. The cross at the peak serves as a personal achievement marker for those who reach it.

Multiple entry points from the Osterfelderkopf cable car station provide options for different skill levels. Current weather conditions and your own fitness matter greatly, as wet rock makes the climbing routes significantly more difficult.

The Mauerläufersteig route ranks among the most technically demanding via ferratas in Germany and attracts seasoned climbers. This section with its steep rock faces and exposed traverses tests both mental resolve and physical strength.
