The Hohe Ziegspitz is a 1,864 m high mountain in the Ammergau Alps , Bavaria . It forms the western end point of the Kramer group . Its name is not derived from goat , but from so-called trains , which are used to denote avalanche lines (see Zugspitze ).
Location and surroundings
The Hohe Ziegspitz is about seven kilometers as the crow flies west of Garmisch-Partenkirchen and forms the westernmost peak of the Kramer group . To the southwest, a ridge runs to the secondary peaks Rauhenstein ( 1728 m ) and the high Rauheck ( 1636 m ). To the northeast the ridge continues to the 1815 m high Vorderen Ziegspitz . Above the tree line , which is around 1500 m here , the Hohe Ziegspitz is characterized by grass slopes and mountain pines , while rocky terrain dominates in the area of the west ridge to the Rauheck. To the south is the Zunderköpfl.
Development
The summit can be reached as a simple mountain hike from Garmisch-Partenkirchen , with the ascent leading over the northeastern Stepbergalm ( 1583 m ). Another ascent runs from the Rotmoosalpe to the west over the Vorderen Ziegspitz to the summit.
