A rather lonely spot on the Rechelkopf, due to the long approach.

Due to the trees that have grown so much, the view is currently almost impossible. The path from the east is difficult to see and follow because it's overgrown. It's easily accessible from Rechelkopf, but there's no sign at the fork in the path to the summit.

Beautiful walk directly along the riverbed of the Isar

Preferably take the route via Sulzkopf, if you are coming from Gaißach, as the standard route recommended by komoot is very muddy.

Beautifully situated, but unfortunately not managed. From here, the ascent begins along a meadow path to the Rechelkopf.

The Lenggrieser Hütte was a good starting point for our upcoming tours, friendly and helpful staff, the food is plentiful and served super quickly, when I think of the portion of Kaiserschmarren, which I can only recommend to everyone.
