Achselköpfe, Mountain summit in Bavarian Alps, Germany

The Achselköpfe are three rock heads on the ridge of the Benediktenwand group in the Bavarian Prealps, between the Benediktenwand main summit and the Latschenkopf. They reach up to 1710 m above sea level. The crossing requires sure-footedness and is usually done on the way between Benediktenwand and Brauneck, but the heads can also be bypassed on the north side.
