Latschenkopf, Mountain peak and monumental cross in Bavaria, Germany.

Latschenkopf is a 1,712-metre summit on the ridge between the Brauneck and the Benediktenwand in the Bavarian Prealps. It is reached in about an hour from the Idealhanghütte, also called Stiealm, in the Brauneck ski area, or in an hour and a half on the traverse from the Brauneck cable car or the Tutzinger Hütte via the Stangeneck. The summit lies in the Kirchstein forest-and-wildlife protection area and should not be entered in winter.

The Latschenkopf lies on the ridge between the Brauneck and the Benediktenwand in the Bavarian Prealps, within the Kirchstein forest-wildlife protection area. The sources record no historical events, boundary role or summit cross for this peak; its documented history is cartographic, appearing in the Alpine Club guide to the Benediktenwand group by W. and G. Zimmermann (1977) and on topographic map sheet L 8334 Bad Tölz. A second, distinctly smaller Latschenkopf lies south of the Benediktenwand.

The summit lies on the ridge between Brauneck and Benediktenwand, and the crossing from the Brauneck cable car or the Tutzinger Hütte via the Stangeneck takes about ninety minutes. A second, distinctly smaller Latschenkopf stands south of the Benediktenwand, so hikers should check which summit they are heading for.

Access is available via several marked trails from nearby towns and villages in the region. The best time to visit is from late spring through early autumn, when conditions are most favorable and paths remain fully passable.

A second, distinctly smaller peak also named Latschenkopf lies south of the Benediktenwand, so hikers should check which summit a route refers to. The 1,712 m summit stands in the Kirchstein forest-and-wildlife protection area and should not be entered in winter.
