Krapfenkar Spitze, Mountain summit in Bavarian Alps, Germany.

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.

The usual route starts at the Oswaldhütte in the Rißtal and passes the Galgenstangenkopf, Fermerskopf and Baierkarspitze; another approach comes from the Soiernhaus over the Gumpenkarspitze. The tour demands surefootedness and is described as lonely, so hikers meet few others on the way.

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.

The usual route to the 2,109 m summit starts at the Oswaldhütte (844 m) in the Rißtal and passes the Galgenstangenkopf (1,806 m), Fermerskopf (1,851 m) and Baierkarspitze; another approach comes from the Soiernhaus over the Gumpenkarspitze. The climb demands sure footing and is described as a lonely mountain tour.
