Kramerspitz

Kramerspitz is a mountain in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen area of the Bavarian Alps that rises to about 1,985 meters (6,512 feet). It forms the western edge of the Loisach River Valley and offers wide views across the surrounding mountains and valleys from the top.

The mountain has served for centuries as a landmark for travelers and merchants crossing the alpine passes between Germany and Austria. Its distinctive shape made it an important waypoint for people navigating routes through the mountains.

The summit attracts hikers and climbers from the surrounding towns who use it as a destination for day trips into the mountains. People come here not just for the physical challenge but to spend time outdoors and take in the views across the valley.

The main route starts from Garmisch-Partenkirchen and passes by Sankt Martin hut along the way, which offers a place to rest. The climb takes about four hours, so wear good hiking boots and be prepared for changing weather conditions.

The mountain features an unusually steep direct elevation gain of about 776 meters (2,548 feet) from base to peak, making it popular for experienced climbers to practice their skills. This sharp pitch over such a short distance is less common and makes it valuable for alpine training.
