The Kramerspitz (also called Kramer for short ; translated into High German, but unusual, the Kramerspitze ) is a 1985  m above sea level. NHN high mountain northwest of Garmisch-Partenkirchen . The mountain offers a comprehensive view of the Zugspitze massif as well as the Karwendel mountains and the plain around Munich.

Ascent

The summit can be reached as a mountain tour for sure-footed hikers from Garmisch either via St. Martin (1028 m) or via the Stepbergalm (1583 m) (still visible in the photo at the bottom right).

The mountain is easy to climb for an experienced hiker, only the last 100 meters to the summit require experience in handling climbing aids such as steel ropes, which are attached to difficult places. Since the last 100 meters of altitude consist of bare rock, you should be particularly careful in the winter months.

There are several ways to climb it, a very popular one leads over the foot of the mountain, e.g. B. at the sports field in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, via the circular route to the Stepbergalm (ascent approx. 2-3 hours). From the Stepbergalm it is about 400 meters in altitude to the actual summit (approx. 1–2 hours). On the descent, you can climb two other secondary peaks before you return to the starting point after a 2–3 hour descent.
