Brunnen-Kopf

The Brunnenkopf reaches an elevation of 1718 meters and features a steep ridge path leading to its cross-marked peak in the Bavarian mountains.

King Maximilian II of Bavaria established the Brunnenkopfhütte during the mid-19th century as a shelter for mountaineers traversing the Ammergauer Alps region.

The mountain stands near Oberammergau, where local artisans maintain traditional wood carving crafts and perform the centuries-old Passion Play every decade.

Visitors can start their hike from Schloss Linderhof parking area, following a marked trail that covers 10.2 kilometers with 775 meters of elevation gain.

The final approach includes a secured ridge section with metal cables, offering views toward Klammspitze and the surrounding peaks of the Ammergauer range.
