Kramerspitz, Mountain summit in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.
Kramerspitz is a mountain summit in the Bavarian Alps, located just west of Garmisch-Partenkirchen and rising to about 6,512 feet (1,985 meters). It sits at the western edge of the Loisach River Valley, with a clear view across the surrounding peaks and valleys from the top.
The Kramerspitz is the western boundary of the Loisach valley above Garmisch, opposite the Wank on the Partenkirchen side. The Kramer tunnel, built for a planned Garmisch-Partenkirchen bypass, is under construction and its route runs through the mountain's southern slope. The summit is reached from Garmisch via St. Martin (1028 m) in the east or the Stepbergalm (1583 m) in the west.
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 trail begins in Garmisch-Partenkirchen and passes the Sankt Martin hut, which offers a good place to stop and rest along the way. The round trip takes around four hours, so it helps to bring layers and solid footwear for the changing mountain weather.
The last 100 metres of the climb are bare rock, and steel cables are fixed at the difficult passages as climbing aids. In winter this final rock section demands extra caution. The summit stands at 1,985 m, and the Kramer tunnel under construction runs through the mountain's southern slope.
