Krapfenkar Spitze

Krapfenkar Spitze is a mountain peak in the Soierngruppe section of the Karwendel range, standing at 2,109 meters high. The summit is made of limestone and provides wide views across the surrounding peaks and valleys of the Bavarian Alps.

The peak formed during the Triassic period through uplift and folding of the earth's crust, stacking massive limestone layers. These geological processes shaped not only this summit but the entire structure of the Karwendel range.

Local mountaineering groups maintain traditional climbing routes to the summit, marking paths with red and white signs according to German alpine customs.

The ascent takes about three hours on a well-marked trail with red and white blazes and requires a good level of fitness. Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Bad Tölz are the main jumping-off points for reaching the hiking route.

Despite its height and position, this summit draws far fewer visitors than neighboring peaks, allowing hikers to experience genuine solitude. Its proximity to the Soiernkessel rock formations makes it a valuable spot for observing these dramatic limestone sculptures.
