Krähe, Mountain summit in Ammergauer Alps, Germany
Krähe is a mountain summit in the Ammergauer Alps standing near 2000 meters with two distinct faces. Its northern side displays steep limestone walls, while its southern side offers gentler grassy slopes.
Local climbers explored the peak during the 1960s, establishing challenging routes on its northern rock faces. These early expeditions shaped how the mountain is used for climbing today.
The name Krähe may come from an old word for mountain pastures that shepherds used for grazing herds. This heritage still shapes the open grasslands visible on the southern slopes today.
The climb starts from lodging at around 1100 meters and passes through forests and meadows to reach the summit ridge. Sturdy boots and mountain experience are needed, especially when you reach the rocky sections.
The peak comprises several jagged points that together form a silhouette resembling frayed wing tips. This distinctive shape makes the mountain instantly recognizable from a distance.
