Krähe, Mountain summit in Ammergauer Alps, Germany

Krähe is a 2010 m high mountain in the Ammergauer Alps in Bavaria, within the Ammergebirge nature reserve. The summit can be reached on a simple but steep hike from Ammerwald (about 1079 m) or from the Kenzenhütte, and also from the Tegelberg via the Niederstraußbergsattel and the Maximiliansweg. Near the Gabelschrofensattel lies the entrance to the Krähenhöhle, a cave with three chambers that can be visited with torches.

The Krähe lies in the Ammergebirge nature reserve (NSG-00274.01) in the Bavarian Ammergau Alps. The sources record no climbing history for the summit; they describe it as reached by a simple but steep mountain hike from Ammerwald at about 1079 m or from the Kenzenhütte, and also from the Tegelberg via the Niederstraußbergsattel and the Maximiliansweg.

The name Krähe is German for "crow", the bird, not a word for mountain pastures. The peak lies in the Ammergebirge nature reserve (NSG-00274.01), and near the Gabelschrofensattel a cave entrance leads into the Krähenhöhle, a three-chamber cave visitors can enter with torches.

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.

Near the Gabelschrofensattel saddle, close to the summit, lies the entrance to the Krähenhöhle, a cave with three chambers that can be explored with flashlights. The mountain stands within the Ammergebirge nature reserve, and the summit can also be reached from the Tegelberg via the Niederstraußbergsattel and the Maximiliansweg.
